Does Ibn Uthaymeen hold the view that a traveler is permitted the concessions of travel, such as combining and shortening prayers, regardless of the distance of his journey, even if it is short, and regardless of the duration of his stay at the travel destination, as long as he does not intend to reside there permanently?

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah held the view that Allah and the Prophet, peace be upon him, did not specify a particular distance for the permissibility of shortening prayers (qasr). His view is closer to correctness, as Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, went out a distance of three miles or three farsakhs, he would pray two rak'ahs." He also believed that the duration allowing for shortening prayers is not restricted to a limited time, for a traveler remains a traveler as long as he does not intend absolute residency or permanent settlement. In summary: the ruling of travel ends with the intention of absolute residency or permanent settlement. As for residency restricted by work or time, the rulings of travel do not cease in such cases. However, the fatwa given is according to the majority's view, which specifies the travel distance as four burd, and whoever intends to reside in a country for four days or more is not permitted to avail himself of the concessions of travel.
