Shorten your prayers while travelling according to Islamic law taking into account distances between places .

This hadith discusses the rules of shortening prayer when travelling. It is narrated by Yahya from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abbas used to shorten his prayer when he travelled a distance equivalent to four mail-stages between Makka and Ta'if, Usfan and Jeddah. According to Malik, this is the most preferable distance for shortening the prayer. He also said that someone who intends to travel should not shorten their prayer until they have left the houses of their village and should not do it in full until they come to the first houses of a new village or are nearby. This hadith teaches us that we must be mindful of our prayers even while travelling and take into account distances in order to properly observe them according to Islamic law.
