Shortening the Prayer for the Traveler

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, the questioner Khalid asks: What about a person who travels frequently between cities? Is he permitted to shorten the prayer? And does he pray the regular voluntary prayers?

Answer:
If the distance is eighty kilometers or more from one city to another, meaning from his city to the city he traveled to, then he is permitted to shorten the prayer and to combine prayers. If he repeats this, he is even more in need of the dispensation. If he repeats it, he is more in need of the dispensation to relieve the hardship from him. Yes.
