Is it permissible for a traveler who is entitled to combine and shorten prayers to shorten the prayers upon arriving home?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The ruling of travel ceases for the traveler as soon as he enters his homeland, whether for residence, transit, or fulfilling a need, because he has become a resident and does not need to renew the intention of residence. His homeland is the place from which the shortening of prayer began. If he missed prayers while traveling, he should make them up in full upon returning home, according to the Hanbalis and the more sound opinion of the Shafi'is.
