5. "The best of people during fitnah is a man who takes up the reins of his horse pursuing the enemies of Allah, causing them fear yet they make him fearful too, or a man who secludes himself in the desert fulfilling the rights of Allah upon him." [Hâkim, Sahîh]

Quotes to remember

12. `A’ishah (ra) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “The most hated person with Allah is the most quarrelsome person.” (al-Bukhari)

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Is it Permissible for a Traveller to combine his Prayers when He reaches Al-Madinah?

Question:

Is it permissible for a traveller, when he reaches Al-Madinah, and he is not a resident there - for example, his stay there is for treatment or some other thing, lasting two or three days - to combine and shorten his prayers, or not?
Answer:

If a traveller reaches Al-Madinah and he wishes to stay there for some purpose, then he returns, he is a traveller. A woman shortens her prayers, but does not combine them, although if she does so, there is no objection to it. The man performs his prayers in congregation and so he must complete them, but if he misses the congregational prayer, he should pray two Rakahs, whether the duration of the stay is long or short, even if he remained for a month, two months, five months are more - so long as his stay is for a particular purpose, and when he has accomplished it, he returns to his country.
