Q
When a person is traveling, is he allowed to combine between prayers and shorten the prayers only on the road or the whole entire time until he comes back to his residence?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
The Hanbali scholars maintain that shortening the prayer is only allowed when someone is travelling on the road or is at the airports. But when the destination is reached, you are allowed to shorten prayers but not to combine them.
The majority of the scholars say shortening prayer is allowed while travelling and while residing during the travel as well.
