If I travel to another country


528

Q 2: a traveler was on his way home when the Zhuhr (Noon) Prayer was due and he returned home before the `Asr (afternoon) Prayer. Should he perform Zhuhr Prayer directly upon his arrival or can he delay it and perform it along with `Asr Prayer? Can he shorten Zhuhr Prayer by performing it as two Rak`ahs (units of prayer)?


A: If a traveler delays Zhuhr Prayer until he returns home, he should perform it as four Rak`ahs in its due time. Then, he can perform `Asr Prayer in congregation.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
