Traveling for a Visit as a University Student

Question

A university student in Beirut is seeking guidance on whether to shorten her prayers while visiting the city.

Answer 1

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.

His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei (may God protect him):

If you go to the university and remain in Beirut, you must perform your prayers in full. However, if you go to Beirut not for study or university purposes, you should shorten your prayers.
