Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If I go on a land trip to a location that is more than eighty kilometers away, is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer and combine them?
Answer:
If you are intending to travel this distance when you leave the town, intending to cover this distance, then you are a traveler. But if you go out and do not know where you will stop, whether it will be near or far, no, you are not a traveler. Yes, do not combine and do not shorten. Yes.
