What is the ruling on combining the Dhuhr and Asr prayers in a country of travel if it is possible to catch the Asr prayer while still present before boarding the bus for return, but there is a fear of missing the first bus, with another later bus whose waiting would be difficult?

If the ruling of travel is interrupted by residence or by the homeland, then it is not permissible to combine prayers except for hardship or difficulty. However, if the ruling of travel is not interrupted, then it is permissible to combine prayers, according to the more preponderant opinion, whether the traveler is moving or residing in a stay that does not interrupt the travel.
