The distance for shortening the prayer is not less than eighty kilometers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q26: Some accidents occur more than eighty kilometers away. Is traveling to them considered a journey in which one shortens the prayer, combines prayers, and it is permissible to break the fast during the day of Ramadan? And do we calculate the distance from the unit's base inside the city, or from after leaving the town?
A26: If the situation is as described, then this distance permits the dispensations
of travel, and the distance is calculated from leaving the inhabited area of the town, not from the unit's base if it is inside the town.
Q31: Is a participant in a Hajj mission whose original job is in Ta'if or Jeddah considered a traveler who may take the dispensations of travel? And what is the considered distance in this case?
A31: Yes, he is a traveler as long as he does not intend to stay for more than four days. If he intends to stay that long, he is a resident. The considered distance in the present time is the equivalent of eighty kilometers from the last inhabited area of his town.
Q73: A- We have an annual conference lasting three days in one of the regions of the Kingdom. What are the dispensations in the religion of Allah in the obligatory and voluntary acts that participants who are not from the town may take? And is dry ablution (tayammum) among the dispensations of travel? B- Is it better to take the dispensation or not to take it? C- Do we take these dispensations in a Hajj mission as well? Knowing that its duration is longer.
A73: A- The dispensations of travel are shortening the four-rak'ah prayer, and they may combine prayers, but it is better not to, unless they are on the road traveling. Among the dispensations is leaving off the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib), except for the sunnah of Fajr; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
maintained it in residence and travel, and likewise the witr prayer. Among the dispensations is the permissibility of breaking the fast during the day of Ramadan. Among the dispensations is extending the duration of wiping over leather socks to three days and nights. Dry ablution (tayammum) is not among the dispensations of travel, but rather it is for when water is not available or when one is unable to use it, whether in travel or in residence. B- It is better to take the dispensation; because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 2:341 . It was narrated by the Imam Ahmad . C- If you intend to stay for four days or more, then you do not have the right to take the dispensations of travel.

Allah the Most High loves that His permissions be practiced, just as he dislikes that disobedience to Him be committed.
إن الله يحب أن تؤتى رخصه كما يكره أن تؤتى معصيته
