Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I intended to travel, and the mu'adhdhin called the adhan for the Zuhr prayer, but I had not yet left the town. So I prayed Zuhr in the mosque with the congregation for four rak'ahs, and then immediately after that I prayed 'Asr for four rak'ahs.
Answer:
This is a mistake, this is a mistake. You have not started your travel yet; you are still in the town. Combining and shortening the prayers is done when you leave the town. When you leave the town, you combine and shorten. But as long as you are in the town, there is no combining and no shortening, even if you intend to travel. Yes.
