Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person who was traveling returned to his town before Maghrib. When the time for Maghrib came, he prayed Maghrib and then 'Isha', combining them and shortening the prayer.
Answer:
Once he arrived, the 'Isha' prayer is invalid; it is not valid because the travel has ended. He must pray it in its proper time and complete it, because the travel ended when he arrived in his town.
