Shortening and Combining Prayers on Long Land Journeys

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: We take trips in the winter and stay in the desert for five or seven days. Regarding the prayer, do we shorten and combine during this trip?

Answer:
No, if you intend to stay for more than four days, it is not permissible for you to shorten or combine the prayers. Rather, you must pray each prayer in full at its proper time, because your long stay has ended the travel. Yes.
