Question:
The questioner says: If a woman is traveling, is it permissible for her to combine and shorten the Dhuhr and Asr prayers, even though she is sitting in her room?
Answer:
Yes, as long as she is traveling, she may shorten the prayers. As for combining, if a person is staying in a place, he does not combine; he prays each prayer in its time, shortened, without combining, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did in Mina. He would shorten but not combine while staying in Mina. Yes.
