According to most Shi'a faqihs, one of the rulings specific to al-Haramayn (al-Haram al-Makki and al-Haram al-Nabawi), [[Masjid al-Kufah]] and [[al-Ha'ir al-Husayni]] is the permission and even [[recommendation]] of performing prayer in the complete form for pilgrims coming from other places (passengers), although as pilgrims, they normally have to perform their prayers in the short form.<ref>al-Shaykh al-Tusi, Muhammad b.

[[Ibn Babawayh]] believed in obligation of performing prayer in short form in the mentioned places and did not consider any higher value for them. Apparently, his opinion is based on general reasons for the obligation of performing prayer in short form for passengers and the hadiths which have regarded it obligatory to perform prayer in short form in the mentioned places. However, other faqihs have considered these hadiths as cases of [[Taqiyya]] and referring to some other reasons, have rejected the mentioned conclusion. There are also some other faqihs who have believed out of caution, in necessity of performing the short form of prayer in the mentioned Harams.

Some earlier scholars including [[Ibn al-Junayd al-Iskafi]] and [[Alam al-Huda]] have considered it obligatory for passengers to perform their prayers in complete form in the four mentioned places and even Harams (the holy shrines) of all Imams (a) of Shi'a. [[Ibn Idris al-Hilli]] have only added [[al-Ha'ir al-Husayni]] to [[al-Haram al-Makki]] and [[al-Haram al-Nabawi]] for this ruling. Shi'a faqihs have also have discussed whether the above mentioned optionality in choosing short or complete form of prayer is only about the [[Masjid al-Kufa]] and al-Ha'ir al-Husayni or it also includes the two whole cities of [[Kufa]] and [[Karbala]]. Hanafis, who considered it obligatory to perform the prayer in short form while travelling like Twelver Shi'a, have regarded performing the prayer in complete form in al-Haram al-Makki as following the noble Prophet (s). They have considered it better than performing the prayer in short form due to multiplicity of rewards for good deeds in Haram.
