What is the ruling on one who does not take the dispensations for travel?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Sa'd from Jeddah, Shaykh Salih, asks and says: What is the ruling on one who does not take the dispensations in travel, given the existence of cars and airplanes today and the shortening of distances?

Answer:
Yes, the dispensation in travel, such as shortening the prayer, combining the two prayers, and breaking the fast in Ramadan, these are dispensations that Allah has granted, and taking them is more beloved to Allah and better, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Allah the Most High loves that His permissions be practiced, just as he dislikes that disobedience to Him be committed.الله يحب أن تؤتى رخصه كما يكره أن تؤتى معصيته
Bulugh al-Maram 2:341
But if he does not take the dispensation and fasts in Ramadan and completes the prayer, this is permissible, but it is contrary to what is best. Yes.
