Question:
A man works outside the city of Riyadh and travels eighty kilometers daily. He and a group of his colleagues pray the midday and afternoon prayers in congregation there.
Answer:
They are travelers in the place to which they travel.
Q: But he returns to Riyadh before the afternoon prayer?
A: Yes, there is no harm. If a traveler combines the prayers and then arrives in the town before the time of the second prayer, there is no blame on him. Likewise, if he combines the sunset prayer and then arrives during the time of the night prayer, there is no blame.
Q: But eighty is the minimum limit?
A: Yes.
Q: If a traveler travels during his day and returns, is he entitled to shorten the prayer?
A: Yes, if the distance of the journey is eighty kilometers or more.
