How to combine prayers by advancing them while traveling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: If I am traveling, Shaykh, and I combine prayers by advancing them, do the remaining prayers also have to be done that way?

Answer:
If you are traveling and combine prayers by advancing them, this differs depending on the situation. If the time for the first prayer entered before you left your residence while traveling—meaning not the one in the city, but if the time for the first prayer entered while you were at your residence for rest, and you had stopped for rest, and the time for the first prayer entered before you departed from that location, then you advance the later prayer and combine it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do, as mentioned in a narration in the authentic collections.
As for if you traveled before the time for the first prayer entered, traveling from your residence on the land or on the road before the time for the first prayer entered, then you delay the first prayer and intend to combine it with the second, and you continue your journey. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So both combining by delaying and combining by advancing are permissible, and one does whichever is more comfortable for him. Yes.
