The dispensations of travel are not to be taken advantage of through sins

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the statement: A traveler who travels for the sake of sin is not permitted to make use of the dispensations of travel,For example: namely shortening the prayer and combining prayers.

As for what we said as a principle: If the sin is connected to the act of worship itself, the worship is invalid; but if it is connected to an external matter, it is not invalid?

The basis for the statement of one who says: In a forbidden journey, the dispensations of travel are not to be taken advantage of. It is not as you indicated, but rather the basis for this in their view is that these are dispensations, and they should not be taken advantage of through sin.How do we say: Are we to grant a dispensation to one who is sinning against Allah? The matter is simple.We say: Repent from this, and once you have repented, you may take advantage of the dispensation.
