The Ruling on Shortening and Combining Prayers at a Distance of Seventy-Five Kilometers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a resident of the city of Ta'if, and I have a house in my village, which is approximately seventy-five kilometers from Ta'if. This house has everything I need in terms of food and clothing. I go there with my family most of the time on Thursdays and Fridays. Is it permissible for me to shorten the prayers?

Answer:
This is less than the distance for shortening prayers. Seventy-five is less than the distance for shortening. The distance for shortening is eighty kilometers or more. Since this is less than the distance for shortening, you do not combine or shorten. Yes.
