Taking advantage of the dispensations for travel at a distance of seventy kilometers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are coming from the city of al-Kharj, which is about seventy kilometers from Riyadh. May we take advantage of the dispensations for travel, for example by leaving off the regular voluntary prayers?

Answer:
Seventy kilometers is not enough; seventy kilometers is not enough. They have a distance for shortening the prayer. The distance for shortening is defined as a two-day journey on a mount, which amounts to eighty kilometers or more. Eighty kilometers or more. As for seventy or sixty, that is not enough, so it is not permissible for you to shorten the prayer. Yes.
