If one’s stay is restricted by a specific time or job, is he permitted to avail himself of the dispensations of travel, such as combining prayers?

Question : The opinion that he is accustomed to harshness, and is he permitted to fulfill the requirement of the Safa like combining?

Answer : Yes, all the dispensations of travel remain valid for him, except for the issue of fasting. We mentioned that it is better not to postpone fasting until the second Ramadan for three reasons. First, the certainty of the permission to break the fast while traveling is not like the certainty of the permission to shorten the prayer. Second, if the months pass and he delays, he may encounter an obstacle that prevents him from making it up. Third, if he postpones fasting until he reaches his home, he will have remained for a year, two years, or three years without having fasted the obligatory fast. As for the prayer, he will pray every prayer in its proper time, but it will be shortened. We hold that he should not postpone fasting until after the second Ramadan. In that case, what is the benefit of the opinion that he is permitted to break his fast? The benefit is that he breaks his fast in the days of summer and makes up the fasts in the days of winter.
