Is it permissible for a traveler to shorten or combine prayers if the duration of stay in the destination country ranges from four to five years?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Lawgiver (Allah) linked the permissibility of shortening prayers (qasr) and combining them (jam') to travel. An individual residing for a long period is not considered a traveler. The opinion that he takes the ruling of a traveler is weak and should not be adopted.
