Is it permissible for a traveler who covers a distance exceeding 100 km and stays for days with his relatives in the capital to shorten the prayer, and is Friday prayer obligatory for him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for a traveler to shorten the four-rak'ah prayers and combine the two joint prayers, unless he intends to stay for four days or more, or if he has a wife residing in the capital. In such cases, he remains under the ruling of a traveler and is allowed the concessions of travel, such as shortening prayers, combining them, and omitting Friday prayer.
