Question:
I will leave Makkah, if Allah wills, for al-Madinah immediately after the Zuhr prayer. Is it permissible for me to combine and shorten the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers together before traveling?
Answer:
If he is residing in Makkah for many days, more than four days, he does not combine; because he is still a resident until he departs. He prays Zuhr, and when the time for 'Asr comes, he prays it in its time. Yes.
