The obligation to complete the prayer for one who has arrived in his home town
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
When the time for 'Asr entered, I left the city of Dammam as a traveler heading to the city of al-Dawadimi. I missed the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers and arrived late in al-Dawadimi. Should I pray them shortened?The Shaykh: Is al-Dawadimi your home town or not?The questioner: Yes.
No, you do not shorten. When a person arrives in his home town, the shortening ends.
The questioner: I did not pray Maghrib.
The Shaykh: Yes, even if you did not pray, pray Maghrib, then pray 'Isha' as four rak'ahs.
The Shaykh: Did you pray two rak'ahs?The questioner: Yes, I prayed two rak'ahs.
The Shaykh: Repeat it as four rak'ahs. Are you in a state of wudu' now?The questioner: No.
The Shaykh: Yes! If you perform wudu' before the Zuhr prayer for the sake of order, then before you pray Zuhr, pray four rak'ahs.
No, you do not shorten. When a person arrives in his home town, the shortening ends.
The questioner: I did not pray Maghrib.
The Shaykh: Yes, even if you did not pray, pray Maghrib, then pray 'Isha' as four rak'ahs.
The Shaykh: Did you pray two rak'ahs?The questioner: Yes, I prayed two rak'ahs.
The Shaykh: Repeat it as four rak'ahs. Are you in a state of wudu' now?The questioner: No.
The Shaykh: Yes! If you perform wudu' before the Zuhr prayer for the sake of order, then before you pray Zuhr, pray four rak'ahs.
