Question:
He says: My father intended to travel at the time of the 'Asr prayer, where he had prayed the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers combined and shortened at home, and then he traveled.
Answer:
His combining of the prayers is not valid. The Zuhr prayer is valid, but the 'Asr prayer must be repeated, because the dispensations of travel, such as combining prayers and others, do not begin until one leaves the inhabited area of the town. Once he leaves the inhabited area of the town, the travel begins and he may take advantage of the dispensations of travel. As long as he is in his house or in the town, he is not a traveler and does not take advantage of the dispensations. Yes.
