Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person goes to the airport and intends to travel, is it permissible for him to combine and shorten the prayer at the airport?
Answer:
This varies depending on the location of the airport. If the airport is outside the town, he shortens and combines the prayer there, because he has left the town intending to travel, so the journey has begun. However, if the airport is within the built-up area of the town, he does not shorten or combine, because he is still in the town. Yes.
