The single traveler completes the prayer with the congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it permissible for a single traveler performing 'Umrah to combine the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers and shorten them, as long as he will stay in Makkah for two or three days, and he is near the Haram? May Allah reward you with good.
A: It is not permissible for a single traveler to shorten the prayer; rather, it is obligatory for him to pray with the Muslim congregation and complete it, because shortening is a recommended practice, while performing it in congregation is an obligatory matter. However, if the travelers are more than one, there is nothing wrong with them praying shortened, provided that the stay is four days or less.
