Combining and Shortening the Prayer for the Pilgrim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is shortening the prayer for the people of Makkah at the sacred sites specific to pilgrims only? Or does it include even the sellers among them and others who are present at the sacred sites without performing Hajj?
A: The well-known view among scholars is that this shortening is specific to the pilgrims from the people of Makkah only, according to the opinion of those who permit it for them.
As for the majority, they hold that the people of Makkah do not shorten or combine; because they are not travelers, and they must complete all of them and pray the prayer at its appointed time.
However, whoever permits it for the pilgrims, it is specific to the pilgrims only from the people of Makkah, and this is the most correct; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order them to complete the prayer.
As for the sellers and the like of those who did not intend to perform Hajj, he completes the prayer and does not combine, like the rest of the residents of Makkah.
