Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My trip to my country requires me to be at Jeddah Airport before the 'Asr prayer. Is it permissible for me to perform 'Asr early here in the Haram so that I can catch my flight?
Answer:
Yes, if you have intended to travel. You came to Makkah for 'Umrah and stayed there for a few days, less than four days, so you may shorten the prayer and combine prayers. However, if you stay in Makkah for a long period exceeding four days, you may not shorten or combine. You will pray 'Asr at the airport, at Jeddah Airport, praise be to Allah, in the prayer halls.
