[abomokhtar]

Is it permissible to combine and shorten prayers at home before traveling?
Answer
It is impermissible to combine and shorten prayers at home before traveling because one is called a traveler once one departs the borders of one’s country. Combining and shortening prayers was originally intended to exempt a traveler.
And God the Almighty knows best.
