What are the conditions for shortening the prayer (qasr)? And when does the shortened prayer (qasr) end?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prerequisites for shortening prayers are that the journey must be for an act of obedience or a permissible matter, and the travel distance must reach four burud (approximately 83 km). Shortening of prayers ends upon the traveler's arrival at their homeland, or a place where their lawfully wedded and consummated wife resides, or by intending to stay for four days or more. Shortening is restricted to the four- prayers (Dhuhr, Asr, and Isha).
