Summary
The navy member remains eligible to combine and shorten prayers throughout the operation in Lumut. Moving between Lumut, Sitiawan and Teluk Intan and sleeping at different places shows that he is not a resident of any of them. He has no intention of settling at any place he stops at, so he remains a traveller for the duration of the operation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Keadaan anda yang perlu bermalam di tempat-tempat yang berbeza sepanjang operasi menunjukkan anda masih seorang yang bermusafir.
