Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A taxi driver from the residents of Riyadh wanted to pick up a passenger from Riyadh Airport and take him to Dammam. Is it permissible for him to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers at Riyadh Airport and shorten them, and then travel?
Answer:
If they are from the people of Riyadh, the airport today is generally, or it appears to be, inside the city because the buildings have reached it and surrounded it, so it is inside the city. Therefore, the one from the people of Riyadh does not shorten or combine in the airport. As for the traveler who is coming from Jeddah and wants to go to Dammam, or this one shortens because he has not reached his city. Yes.
