Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We now move on to a letter from the questioner, Uthman ibn Abd al-Karim al-Juwaybir, from the Post Institute in Riyadh. He says: Your Eminence, may Allah preserve you! We went in response to the invitation of a brother of ours in Allah to a city located about one hundred and thirty kilometers from the city of Riyadh. During the journey, we stopped to perform the Zuhr prayer, and we differed on whether to pray it shortened or in full. We did not intend to combine the Asr prayer with it, because we would be praying Asr with the person who invited us. What is obligatory for us? Please issue a ruling for us, and may Allah reward you.
Answer:
This is travel, so you may pray in the journey combined and shortened; because it is travel. One hundred and thirty is travel. Eighty or more is travel. Eighty kilometers is travel. So if you shorten in the journey, or combine, there is no blame on you, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
