Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My village is about sixty to seventy kilometers from the city of Jazan. So, if I am traveling and I arrive at the airport in the city of Jazan, is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer because I have not yet reached my village? The point is the town: have you not resided in it?
Answer:
If you reach the town where you reside, the travel ends. However, passing through a town where you do not reside does not end the travel; the travel remains continuous. Yes.
