If a traveler intends to stay for less than four days, is it permissible for him to combine prayers with shortening them?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a traveler intends to stay for less than four days, is it permissible for him to combine prayers with shortening them?

Answer:
One combines prayers while traveling. As for when he is staying, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not combine prayers while staying in Mina, nor did he combine them while staying during his expeditions. He only combined them when the journey became difficult. Yes.
