A traveler who reached the time of the Zuhr prayer while traveling but did not pray it until he returned to his place of residence, and then the time of the 'Asr prayer reached him: is it permissible for him to shorten the Zuhr prayer that he reached while traveling?

The questioner : When I said once, my Shaykh, I heard from you two answers to this question. Now, we were traveling and we returned from the journey, and the time of the Zuhr prayer reached us on the way. So when we arrived at our house, or rather the 'Asr adhan was called, we wanted to pray Zuhr and 'Asr. Once I heard an answer from you that he prays four and four, and once I heard from you that he prays the missed prayer as if it were two, and the second one as four. Now, what is it?

The Shaykh : Here, did it pass him? Can it be said that it passed him?

The questioner : Ah, it is not said that it passed him, because the second time allows combining, as they are close.

The Shaykh : No, there is combining in it.

The questioner : There is combining between them, so he combines them as four. He prays four, four. They come and line up here.

The Shaykh : Where do they line up?

The questioner : They line up, and they have a parking spot, a special parking spot for Iraqi cars...

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : There are many of them now, what Allah willed, meaning the number of cars in this area, all the cars here are Iraqi cars. They made a parking spot for them, so they sell gasoline at the price of the can, meaning less than the market price.

The Shaykh: Who is selling it?

The questioner : The drivers bring it with them from Iraq.

The Shaykh : The drivers.

The questioner : The Iraqi drivers come with it, meaning gasoline filling their tanks and more, so they sell it here for three and a half dinars per can, four and a half dinars approximately, so they save one dinar. Is it forbidden to buy from them?

The Shaykh : By Allah, if the gasoline they bring is authorized, there is no problem. And if it is considered stolen...

The questioner : No, they definitely fill it automatically from the last parking spot at their Iraqi border, which is at the gates of al-Rumaydah.

The Shaykh : Yes, meaning they fill their can, or do they fill additional cans?

The questioner : They fill their cans.

The Shaykh : The car's can.

The questioner : The car's can.

The Shaykh : Not their cans remaining empty.

The questioner : No, no, not empty cans.

The Shaykh : Okay, when they empty the car from here, where do they get gasoline from? - Peace be upon you.

The questioner : The distance they return is short, such that they sell half the quantity and they still have a quantity, meaning they benefit.

Another questioner : Your detail, my Shaykh. Okay, I went with Hisham around this Abu Abdullah point. This government, my Shaykh, prevents taking out gasoline except for a certain amount, and it is strange, my Shaykh, they measure. They have employees at the border who measure with a rod of a certain meter. If it exceeds that, they make the car turn around and go, and they dump it. Whatever they sell, they dump it and return. When I and my colleague arrived in the truck, the meter was actually there. We arrived at approximately twelve at night. The employee brought the light.
