The distance for shortening the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the distance at which the prayer is shortened? And is it permissible to combine prayers without shortening them?

Answer:
The distance at which the prayer is shortened is a two-day journey for a mount. A two-day journey is two stages, which is approximately eighty kilometers. Approximately eighty kilometers. This is the distance at which the prayer is shortened and one breaks the fast in Ramadan, because it is called travel. Anything less than eighty kilometers is not called travel in which the prayer is shortened and the fast of Ramadan is broken, yes.
