What is the ruling on one who intends to travel after the 'Asr prayer and combines the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers before leaving the town?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: One who intends to travel after the 'Asr prayer, before leaving the town, and is in his home, yes. He says: May Allah reward you. One who intends to travel after the 'Asr prayer, before leaving the town, and is in his home, combines the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers, what is the ruling on that? And does one who does that have to repeat the two prayers?

Answer:
You heard this. We said: He does not combine, he does not shorten, and he does not break his fast in Ramadan, unless he leaves the buildings. This is the position of the majority of the scholars. A person is not called a traveler unless he leaves the town, because travel means departure and going out. So when he emerges from the town, he becomes a traveler. But as long as he is in the town, he is not a traveler. Yes, he repeats the prayer. Yes.
