Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if we do not consider a distance of one hundred kilometers to be travel, and we do not intend to travel, do we shorten the prayer in that case?
Answer:
Beyond seven kilometers, if you intend it, you intend the distance you are heading toward when you leave the cold. A man from the town, we do not know if you will return soon or not, so the one who is looking for something or going around for something, this is not valid.
