The questioner : Praise be to Allah.
I, O Shaykh, am from al-Dawami, and my work is in Hail. The work is only one day; I go at 'Asr and come back at the next 'Asr. So, if I leave, for example, at 'Asr, and the 'Asr adhan is called in al-Dawami, is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer? And, for example, if Maghrib comes, is it permissible for me to combine it with 'Isha' while I am traveling, or should I pray everything in its proper time?
The Shaykh : All of this is permissible for you. I mean: it is permissible to shorten the prayer, and shortening is also better. It is permissible to combine them, and there is no blame on you, because you are a traveler.
