What is the ruling on shortening the prayer for a person who works permanently in another city and whose leave duration is 45 days?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If you reside at your workplace for 45 days, it is not permissible for you to shorten the four-rak'ah prayers upon arriving in the country where you intend to reside. This is the view of the majority of scholars. There is another opinion that permits a traveler to shorten prayers as long as he does not intend a permanent stay.
