The questioner : I prayed the five obligatory prayers on the Day of Tarwiyah, the eighth of Dhu al-Hijjah, with each prayer consisting of four rak'ahs, except Maghrib which was three, but one of the brothers informed me that it must be shortened. What is the ruling on this?
The Shaykh : Your prayer is valid because you completed it in a place where shortening is required, but the sunnah (recommended practice) is for the traveler to shorten the four-rak'ah prayer to two rak'ahs. If he completes it, his prayer is deficient but not invalid. However, if a person is ignorant, as was your case, we hope that Allah will reward you fully, because you exerted effort and did not do anything forbidden, but only something less desirable. Yes.
The questioner : In his last question, he says.
