When does a traveler shorten the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is combining prayers permissible during a stay in the city one intends to visit?
Answer:
Answer: This depends on the duration of the stay. If one does not know how long the stay will last, and he stays to attend to a need without knowing when it will end, then he shortens the prayer. Or if he intends to stay for four days or less, he also shortens the prayer. However, if he stays, or intends to stay, for more than four days, he must complete the prayer from the moment he arrives in the town, because he has become a resident and the journey is cut off for him.
