Shortening and Combining Prayers for the Traveler Based on the Duration of Stay
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And every year I will choose you, if Allah wills. Preparing a great power. Preparing a great power. That was lost in this state. Is it upon you? If I return John to pray for it with safety.
Answer:
If you intend to stay for a period exceeding four days, you must complete the prayers from the moment you arrive, because you have become a resident. However, if your stay is less than four days, you may shorten and combine the prayers if you need to. Likewise, if you stay for a period whose end you do not know, you may combine and shorten the prayers if you need to. So the cases are: the first case is when you know you are staying four days or less; you may combine and shorten. The second is when you do not know when you will leave, whether it is one day, two days, or a month; you may also combine and shorten. The third case is when you know you will complete more than four days; then you must complete the prayers.
