AL-KAFI #927 : SOLAT JAMAK DAN QASAR DI TEMPAT KERJA
Can I combine and shorten my Zuhr and Asr prayers on workdays if my home is about 140 km from my workplace and I commute daily?
Short answer
Combining and shortening prayers is permitted on workdays because the main conditions are met: the journey exceeds two marhalah and its purpose is permissible.

Summary
Combining and shortening prayers is permitted on workdays because the main conditions are met: the journey exceeds two marhalah and its purpose is permissible. The concession may only be used at the workplace or while travelling. Once the person reaches the area where they reside, the prayers must be performed in full without combining or shortening.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
