Question:
If I am traveling, and the time for prayer enters before I leave my town, am I permitted to shorten this prayer?
Answer:
No, it is obligatory for you to perform it in full as long as it became obligatory before you left the town. You have not yet begun your journey, so it remains obligatory for you to perform it in full. However, if you leave the town and its buildings and emerge into the open, it is said that you have traveled. In that case, you may shorten the prayer if the time entered after you left. Yes.
