Who travel 200 km from our cities

Q: We traveled to Al-Bir, 150 kilometers away from Tabuk. Some of us wanted to stay for a month and others for 10 days. During this time, we combined and shortened some obligatory Salahs (Prayers), thinking that this was permissible. What is the ruling on this and what should we do now?


A: A traveler who intends to stay in a place for more than 4 days has to perform Salah in full, because the rulings of travel stop being applicable to them, according to the Jumhur (dominant majority of scholars). What the people you mentioned did was wrong, but they are not required to repeat their Salah due to the differences of scholarly opinion on this issue. They should in the future take care about this matter.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
