If a person travels a distance that permits shortening the prayer, is it better to shorten and combine?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A few people to a small number of people. A person shortens. A person shortens. A small number of people.

Answer : Yes, if a person travels a distance that permits shortening, he may shorten, and that is better, even if he stays in the town for four days, five, or ten. However, regarding combining, it is better not to combine unless there is a need. You must know that the reason for combining is not travel; the reason is need. Whenever a person needs to combine, even if he is in the town, he combines. And if he does not need to, and he is traveling, he may combine, but it is better not to combine.
