Question:
What is the ruling on shortening the prayer for the pilgrim during a stay of more than four days in Makkah?
Answer:
If the pilgrim’s stay in Makkah al-Mukarramah is four days or less, it is the Sunnah for him to pray the four-rak'ah prayers as two rak'ahs, based on the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Farewell Pilgrimage. However, if he intends to stay for more than four days, the safest course is to pray them as four rak'ahs, which is the opinion of the majority of scholars.
