The questioner:
The questioner says: A resident man wanted to travel, and the time for the midday prayer entered upon him,
The Shaykh:
Yes, a resident man. Yes.
The questioner:
and he wanted to travel, and the time for the midday prayer entered upon him, so he prayed with the congregation four rak'ahs, then he stood up and combined the afternoon prayer with the midday prayer, and he did not shorten it, but prayed it four rak'ahs. Is his action permissible?
The Shaykh:
This is a mistake. It is contrary to the perfection of the journey. As long as he has not begun the journey, he is a resident. It is not permissible for him to combine.
The questioner:
And immediately.
The Shaykh:
He repeats the prayer that he brought forward; he repeats it. Yes.
