Question:
Please, my brother Ibrahim from al-Hawtah. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings. Ibrahim, that is enough. The television is a bit small. I do not have a closed television. Okay, please go ahead. My question, Honorable Shaykh, is regarding the traveler who has not yet, for example, left the city he is coming from. Is it permissible for him to shorten the prayer and take the specific dispensations for travel? There is a lot of talk, by Allah, about the rulings of prayer specifically in travel. I mean, between Shaykh Salih, he clarifies a little, because people say that if you are within the area where you are, and you have not yet left the boundaries of the area, they say that you combine the prayer and so on, and take the same area you are in. And there are many sayings from Shaykh Salih. If he would clarify the rulings of prayer, especially regarding the issue of shortening? Thank you, thank you.
Answer:
My brother, if you want to travel from your home or from your place, it is not permissible for you to shorten the prayer, combine prayers, or break your fast in Ramadan unless you leave the inhabited buildings, the inhabited part of the town, and emerge into the open space. At that point, the dispensations for travel begin. Yes.
