Question : What is the wisdom in shortening the prayer while traveling?
Answer : The wisdom is to make things easier for the traveler. Because travel generally requires the traveler to have something that lightens his burden, for this reason a person is commanded to shorten the prayers. Likewise, if he needs to combine the midday and afternoon prayers, or the sunset and night prayers, it is better for him to combine them.
