Subject : Islamic Ruling on someone who Combines two Prayers and then Arrives at his Place of Residence during the Time of the Second Prayer
Fatwa Number : 4467

Classified : Shortening and Combining of Prayers
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

What is the ruling on someone who combines two prayers as an early combination (jam‘ taqdīm), and then arrives at his place of residence during the time of the second prayer — is he obligated to repeat it?



The Answer :

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Whoever combines Ẓuhr and ‘Aṣr while traveling — that is, before he has reached the built-up boundaries of his hometown [upon returning] — his combination (jam‘) of the two prayers remains valid, even if he arrives at his place of residence before the time for the second prayer has actually begun. This is because the combination was already validly completed with its proper conditions fulfilled, and he is not obligated to repeat the second prayer [upon arrival].

A traveler is permitted to make use of the concessions of shortening (qaṣr) and combining (jam‘) prayers once the distance of travel reaches (81 km) or more, provided that his journey is a permissible one, and that he begins shortening and combining only after actually setting out on the journey and passing beyond the built-up limits of the city in which he resides. And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.
