The ruling on combining prayers for a traveler who has arrived at his destination

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on combining the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, or the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers, for a person who is traveling and has settled in a place for one or two days?

Answer:
If the traveler has a mosque nearby and hears the adhan, he prays with the Muslims at every time in its proper time and does not abandon the congregational prayer. As for if he is far from the mosque and is staying there, not traveling on the road, he also prays every prayer in its time, shortening the four-rak'ah prayers, each prayer in its time, because there is no need to combine. Combining is only for one who is in a state of urgency. As for one who has stopped, even for a short period, he prays every prayer in its time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was staying in Mina during the days of Tashriq, and he used to pray every prayer in its time, shortened, without combining. Yes.
