Is it necessary for a hunter who goes out hunting to shorten his prayer?

Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Is it necessary for a hunter who goes out hunting to shorten his prayer?

Answer

If a person goes out for hunting, with the object of sport and pleasure, his prayers during the outward journey will be full, and on return it will be qasr if it does not involve hunting. But if a person goes out for hunting, to earn his livelihood, he should offer shortened prayers. Similarly, if he goes for business and increase in his wealth, he will pray qasr, although in this case, the precaution is that he should offer qasr as well as full prayers.
