Explaining the preferred method of combining prayers by advancing or delaying for the traveler

Question:
If I am a traveler and I want to combine prayers, is it better to combine by advancing or by delaying?

Answer:
The best is to do what is most convenient for you and your companions. If you are staying in a place where your stay does not prevent shortening and combining, then it is better to leave it, meaning you and your companions should pray every prayer in its time, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did during the Farewell Pilgrimage in his stay at Mina. However, if you are traveling, the best is to combine by advancing if you set out before the time of the first prayer enters; if not, the best is to combine by delaying, because it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of Anas and others what indicates that.
