Start askingAskMuslimOnline
- Visitor asked: Can I combine prayers when I'm travelling for work?
- AskMuslim replied: Yes. A traveller may combine Dhuhr with Asr, and Maghrib with Isha. The majority of scholars permit this once you leave your town; the Hanafi school takes a narrower view. Shall I go through each position?
- Visitor asked: What counts as travelling, though?
- AskMuslim replied: The most commonly cited threshold is roughly 48 miles (about 77 km), based on reports of the Prophet ﷺ shortening prayers at that distance. Some contemporary scholars focus on whether the journey is genuinely burdensome rather than a fixed number.
