Summary
A person travelling to a destination beyond two marhalah is permitted to combine and shorten prayers even on a same-day round trip. Staying overnight is not a condition for the traveller's prayer concessions. The conditions are a distance of at least 81 km, a specific destination, and a journey not undertaken for a sinful purpose. The concession ends if the traveller intends to stay four days at the destination, not counting the days of arrival and departure.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
dibenarkan bagi seseorang yang musafir ke suatu destinasi yang melebihi 2 marhalah untuk melakukan solat musafir seperti jamak dan qasar, sekalipun dia hanya balik hari dan tidak bermalam.
