The distance for shortening the prayer while traveling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, whose name is indicated by the letter alif, alif, concludes this episode with his question. He says: What is the distance in kilometers at which a person shortens his prayer while traveling?

Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement regarding the distance for travel, but the ruling in this land and the practice followed is eighty kilometers, which is the distance of a two-day journey for a mount, a two-day journey in two stages, on foot, and at the pace of laden animals. This is what is practiced and what is ruled upon.
