Shortening the Prayer at a Distant Workplace

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, my workplace is ninety-five kilometers away. I commute daily from my home to my work, and I cover this distance every day. Should I combine and shorten the prayer?

Answer:
Yes, because this is a distance for shortening the prayer or more. So you shorten the prayer on the way there and back, and at the workplace, provided you do not intend to stay for more than four days. Yes.
