Combining and shortening prayers for one who prayed Maghrib in the Haram and then traveled

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: If I pray Maghrib in the Haram and intend to travel, do I combine 'Isha' with it as four rak'ahs, or do I shorten it? And do I get the reward of a hundred thousand prayers?

Answer:
Yes, you shorten it. You pray Maghrib with the Muslims, and then you pray 'Isha' after it if you are coming to Makkah. But if you are from the people of Makkah, no. You do not combine or shorten until you go out and begin the journey. However, if you are a visitor to Makkah and intend to continue your journey, you combine 'Isha' with it as two rak'ahs, shortening it to two rak'ahs. This is the Sunnah. Yes.
