Is it permissible for a student to combine and shorten prayers when traveling for study, given that the travel time is an hour and a half round trip, and they spend from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the university?
If the distance between your home and the university is 83 kilometers or more, you are permitted to shorten (qasr) and combine (jam') prayers before returning to your home. However, after your arrival back home, it is not permissible. Therefore, pray Dhuhr shortened at the university, and 'Asr fully after your return home. It is also permissible for you to combine Dhuhr shortened with 'Asr at your workplace.
