Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
- Regarding your trip to Beirut for ten consecutive days before your studies, you should have completed your prayers if the conditions for staying for ten days were met during that period. Therefore, if those conditions were met and you still shortened your prayers, you must repeat those prayers unless it was due to ignorance of the ruling. In the case of ignorance of the subject or forgetfulness, your prayers are invalid and must be repeated.
- As for your actual studies, you can refer to Question 1796.
