Q 3:
I live in
Belgium.
I used to stay there for one or two years then take my vacation for one or two months. I used to spend my vacation with my parents. My family lives with me in
Belgium.
Can I shorten my Salah during my stay in
Belgium
?
Can I shorten my Salah when I return to my country,
Morocco,
during my vacation to visit my parents or should I perform it as complete Salah during my stay in
Morocco?
A:
If the reality is what you have mentioned, then you will not be permitted to shorten Salah during your stay in
Belgium because you intend to stay there for more than four days. You also have to complete your Salah as four Rak`ahs (units of prayer) when you return to
Morocco because it is still your home land and you did not leave it to permanently live in another country. (Part No. 8; Page No. 113) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
