Is shortening the prayer permissible for the residents of Makkah in Mina, 'Arafah, and Muzdalifah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it prescribed to shorten the prayer for the residents of Makkah in Mina, 'Arafah, and Muzdalifah, especially since Mina is now connected to Makkah?
The Shaykh : We were asked this question when we first arrived in this place, and our answer was: One who comes from the residents of Makkah to Mina during the days of the season combines and shortens the prayer, whereas one who comes before that, due to the connection of the buildings, prays the prayer of a resident. We distinguish between the rites of Hajj and other matters.
A need, a need.
And Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise.
