Being Under the Control of Another Person During a Journey
Issue No.1130- If a person who is under the control of another person while going on a journey (e.g., a son who is travelling with his father), knows that his father’s journey is eight farsakhs, he should offer qaṣr prayer. Similarly, if a person (e.g., a prisoner) is taken away by force and he knows that the distance is eight farsakhs or more, he should offer qaṣr prayer, unless there is a reasonable probability that he will become separated from them and return before reaching four farsakhs, in case of which he should offer complete prayer.
