Question:
A teacher says: I commute daily from my home to the school, traveling a distance of one hundred and thirty kilometers each day. Do I take the dispensations of travel, such as shortening the prayer, combining prayers, and breaking the fast in Ramadan?
Answer:
Yes, if the road is more than eighty kilometers and he goes in the morning and returns in the evening, then he is a traveler in both going and returning, and he is considered a traveler in his work as well. It is permissible for him to shorten and combine, except if he is in the presence of a congregation of residents praying, in which case he must pray with them and complete the prayer, because he follows the imam. Yes.
