If you intend to stay there four days or less than, then you can combine and shorten during your entire stay. In this context a day is from dawn until sunset and a night is from sunset until dawn. Hence, if you arrived there during the day, the [four-day] period starts from sunset, and if you arrived there during the night, the period starts from dawn.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fea0b76658b4c2328e8","tag":"Salah: Traveling","count":65}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:06.139Z"}
