Ruling on shortening the prayer for one whose work is outside his city and who returns at the end of the week
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man whose place of work is outside the city where he resides, and he needs to travel a distance that qualifies for shortening the prayer to reach it. He stays at his place of work for four days, then returns to his city for the rest of the week. Is he considered a traveler?
This is considered a traveler, like a person who is assigned to teach in one of the villages; he stays there for a week, and during the holiday at the end of the week he returns to his family. So he is considered a traveler, but it is obligatory for him to pray with the Muslims in congregation.
The questioner: But if he returns to his city, is he considered a traveler because he will return?Answer: No.
Because he has returned to his homeland, the journey is cut off.
