Shortening the Prayer during the Hajj

Question :

What is the ruling on shortening the prayer for the Hajj pilgrim during his stay there in Makkah for more than four days?

Answer:

If the stay of the Hajj pilgrim in Makkah Al-Mukarramah is four days or less, then the Sunnah for him is to pray the four Rak'ah prayers as two Rak'ahs. This is due to the action of the Prophet ﷺ during the Farewell Hajj. However, if he made up his mind to stay more than four days, it is safer for him to pray the shortened prayers as the complete four Rak'ahs. This is the view of most of the people of knowledge.
