Is shortening the prayer a dispensation or the default ruling?

Answer:
It is a dispensation; completing the prayer is permissible. It is a recommended practice (sunnah) dispensation.
Allah the Most High loves that His permissions be practicedإن الله يحب أن تُؤتى رُخَصُه

This is why Uthman completed the prayer, and Aisha completed it, and the Companions completed it with Uthman during his final pilgrimages.
