Question:
This questioner says: A person combined the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, and shortened the prayer during the time of Maghrib. Then Allah did not decree travel for him, so he returned to his house and prayed the 'Isha' prayer. Does he have to repeat the prayer he shortened?
Answer:
Shortening the prayer is not valid except after leaving the town. As long as a person is in his town and intends to travel, he does not shorten the prayer until he leaves the town intending to travel, at which point he begins shortening. So he has to repeat the prayer he shortened while he was in the town before he started his journey. Yes.
