When does the ruling of travel cease to apply to the traveler: upon reaching the first part of his city, or upon arriving at his home, and what are the consequential rulings regarding prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a traveler enters their homeland, the ruling of travel is discontinued, and the concessions of shortening and combining prayers are lifted. They are then obliged to perform the prayer in full before its time expires, even if they had intended to combine or shorten it before their arrival. The decisive factor is the state at the time of performing the prayer, not the state at the time it became obligatory.
