Shortening the Prayer and Combining Prayers Before Leaving the Inhabited Area of the Town
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah bless you. I intended to travel, and the call to prayer for Maghrib was given while I was in the city. Then I went out and prayed Maghrib, and I went out beyond Riyadh. So, is it permissible for me to combine and shorten the 'Isha' prayer with Maghrib?
The Shaykh:
You said you prayed Maghrib while you were in the city.
The questioner:
Meaning, does he shorten the prayer and complete it in the town? On the road.
The Shaykh:
No, in the town, no. It is not permissible to shorten the prayer, nor to combine prayers, nor to break the fast in Ramadan, except if he leaves the inhabited area of the town in which he is. Yes.
