AL-KAFI #1409 : SOLAT JAMAK QASAR DI PEJABAT
Can I stop at my own office to perform combined (jamak) prayers, either early or delayed, on my way home from an outstation work trip?
Short answer
Combined prayers at the office are valid only if two conditions are met.

No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
Combined prayers at the office are valid only if two conditions are met. First, the trip must reach the distance of travel, namely at least two marhalah or roughly 81 kilometres. Second, the office must be located outside the residential area where one is settled. If the distance is shorter than two marhalah, or the office is still within the residential area, combining the prayers there is not valid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, isu kedua yang perlu dipastikan ialah lokasi pejabat mestilah berada di luar kawasan kampung kediaman untuk mengharuskan solat jamak taqdim dan ta'khir.
