Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: We traveled, or rather, we went out on the road for a distance of eighty kilometers, and the imam shortens and combines the prayers, saying that some scholars consider this to be travel. Is that permissible?
The Shaykh:
Eighty.
The questioner:
Eighty kilometers, yes.
The Shaykh:
Yes, eighty kilometers is a distance for shortening the prayer, because it amounts to two stages, two stages, each stage being forty kilometers. So shortening is permissible. As for combining, if you are traveling on the road, you combine as well. And if you are staying put, you shorten without combining. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
