Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If one leaves the town and intends to travel more than eighty kilometers, but he returns on the same day, is it permissible for him to shorten the prayer and combine it with the other?
Answer:
Yes, because he is a traveler. Even if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned at the end of the day, he is a traveler and he is in need of the dispensation, so he shortens and combines in his going and in his return.
