If a person departs after the sun has declined, does he complete the prayer or shorten it, given that he is still in his house?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: You mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), if he departed before the sun declined, would combine the midday prayer with the afternoon prayer, and if he departed after the sun declined, he would combine the afternoon prayer with the midday prayer. If a person departs after the sun has declined and combines the afternoon prayer with the midday prayer, does he complete the prayer or shorten it? Given that he is still in his house and has not yet departed.

Answer:
You are not considered travelers in this matter. As long as he is in the town, whether in his house or outside it, he is a resident. Once the dispensation has not begun, he completes the prayer and does not combine them either. Once the combining has not begun, he prays the first prayer and does not combine it with the other, because he has not become a traveler until now. Yes.
