IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-530 : HUKUM MENUNAIKAN SOLAT SECARA JAMAK DAN QASAR KETIKA TEMPOH KUARANTIN
Is it permissible to combine and shorten prayers during a 14-day quarantine at a transit location before continuing to the final destination?
Short answer
A person who knows that the stay at the quarantine location will exceed four days may no longer combine or shorten prayers, and must perform each prayer in full at its proper time.

Summary
A person who knows that the stay at the quarantine location will exceed four days may no longer combine or shorten prayers, and must perform each prayer in full at its proper time. The ruling explains that an intention to stay four days or more ends traveller status, and the days of arrival and departure are not counted in the four days. Combining and shortening are allowed only while travelling from the quarantine location to the next destination.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika sudah diketahui bahawa keberadaan Puan di tempat kuarantin tersebut lebih dari empat hari, maka tidak dibenarkan lagi untuk melakukan solat secara Jamak dan Qasar.
