The question

Is it permissible to combine and shorten two prayers when traveling from Al Qunfudhah after the Dhuhr adhan and before the Asr, whether for continuing the journey or returning to Jazan, and does the ruling differ when staying in Makkah for more than a week?

The answer

If the distance traveled is 83 kilometers, it is permissible to shorten and combine prayers in a place where one does not intend to stay for four days (excluding the days of entry and exit). If you stay two days in Qunfudhah and intend to travel to Makkah at noon, it is permissible to combine the Asr prayer with the Dhuhr prayer. However, in a place where one intends to stay for four days (excluding the days of entry and exit), shortening prayers is not permissible, as the ruling of travel ceases, and combining prayers is only allowed for a resident (due to illness, rain, or hardship).
