Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do the residents of Makkah have the right to shorten the prayer if they go to Jeddah and do not catch up with the congregation?

No. Makkah and Jeddah are now connected, so there is no distance of shortening left between them. Therefore, it is not permissible to combine prayers between Makkah and Jeddah, nor is it permissible to break the fast. What is this travel? There is no distance of shortening left between them. Yes.
