Summary
A traveller may combine and shorten prayers, as this is a concession granted by Allah. Combining a full prayer with a shortened one is permissible and valid. If a traveller follows an imam who prays in full, he must complete that prayer with four rakaat behind the imam, and this obligation does not extend to the following prayer. He may therefore pray Asr shortened on his own.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat yang dijamakkan antara solat secara tamam dengan solat secara qasar adalah harus dan sah.
