Is it permissible to shorten the prayer (qasr) before reaching the intended destination, and must it be repeated upon arrival if its time has not expired?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for a traveler on a lawful journey of approximately 83 kilometers to shorten the four-rak'ah prayer, starting from the moment they depart the populated area of their village or city until they reach their intended destination. They are not required to repeat this shortened prayer upon arrival; in fact, repeating it is not legislated.
