The Criterion for the Distance of Shortening the Prayer While Traveling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the criterion in the Shari'ah for shortening the prayer while traveling?

Answer:
The standard is that if the distance of travel is eighty kilometers or more, then this is travel in which the prayer is shortened; because it is the distance of a two-day journey for a mount. But if it is less than eighty kilometers, then the prayer is not shortened in it; because it is not considered travel. Yes.
