A question regarding shortening the prayer and combining prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible, if I go out to the countryside for three days, to combine or shorten the prayer?

Answer:
If the distance for shortening the prayer is eighty kilometers or more from your town, then you are a traveler. If you stay for two, three, or four days, you have the option to shorten and combine. However, if you intend to stay for more than four days, you must complete the prayer as four rak'ahs, provided the stay is four days or less and the distance is long, being eighty kilometers or more. In that case, shortening is preferable.
