Is it permissible for pilgrims coming from Jeddah and Makkah to combine and shorten the prayers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does a pilgrim who is within the distance that does not allow shortening, if he is caught by prayer outside Mina during the days of Tashriq, shorten or complete the prayer? And is it the same for him if he wants to go out for Hajj on the ninth day, should he shorten and combine in his house? We did not understand the question, and Amin? What is this question? Is it from Makkah or from Jeddah?

The Shaykh : As for the people of Jeddah, they are travelers, there is no doubt about this; they shorten in Mina, in Muzdalifah, and in 'Arafah. As for the people of Makkah, according to the opinion of the majority of scholars, they are not travelers; they do not shorten and do not combine, not in 'Arafah, not in Muzdalifah, and not in Mina. But the stronger opinion, since Mina is separate from Makkah, is that he shortens and combines: he shortens in Mina, and there is no shortening in the area adjacent to Makkah, and he combines; he shortens in 'Arafah and combines; and he shortens in Muzdal.
As for now, I see that the precaution for the people of Makkah is not to shorten, because Mina is considered one of the districts of Makkah; all the tunnels lead to it, and there is no difference between them. So I see that the precaution, and what is safest for their imam, is not to shorten, not in Mina, which is separate from Makkah. Yes.
