Are their differences of opinion among the Hanafis?","question":"Once you have traveled to your destination, if you are staying there for several days/weeks (say on vacation in another country for example), should you resume praying \"non-travel salat\" immediately upon arrival at your destination or is there a set amount of days to adjust to this new setting and continue praying under the status of \"traveling\" before you must resume praying as normally prescribed?","answer":"If you intend to stay there for more than four complete (24 hour) days, not including the day or night of your arrival or departure, then your status as traveler ends as soon as you reach your destination, and you resume regular salat immediately. For the Hanafis, they do not permit combining prayers for a traveler and shortening the salat for a traveler is wajib versus Shafis in which it is sunnah. Lastly, the duration of permissibility for travel prayers is 15 days for Hanafis compared to the 4 days for Shafis.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fea0b76658b4c2328e8","tag":"Salah: Traveling","count":65},{"_id":"668d9ff90b76658b4c232aa3","tag":"Hanafi","count":11}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:43.338Z"}
