What is the term for the prayer performed by shortening certain units, permitted for travelers under specific conditions?
ASutrah
BQasr

DSalat-ul-Khauf
Explanation
– Qasr refers to the permitted shortening of certain obligatory prayers, allowing travelers under specific conditions to reduce the number of units (Rakat) in particular prayers, easing the burden of travel.
– This concession applies specifically to the four-unit prayers, Zuhr, Asr, and Isha, which may be shortened to two units each under qualifying travel conditions.
– For exams, note that Jam refers separately to the practice of combining two prayers together at one time, a related but distinct concession available to travelers.
