The time for shortening the prayer while traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When is it permissible for a traveler to shorten the prayer? Is it when he leaves the city, or is it permissible for him to shorten the prayer before he leaves the city?
Answer:
When he leaves the city, when he departs from the town: “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not shorten the prayer except when he left the city and reached Dhul-Hulayfah.” When he leaves his town and goes beyond the built-up area, he shortens the prayer. Likewise, when he returns, he shortens the prayer until he enters the town. As long as he is outside the town, he shortens the prayer. So if the airport is outside the town, he shortens the prayer at the airport. Yes.
