jamak dan qasar ketika melancong
Can one perform qasar and jamak prayers while travelling abroad for more than three days if the lodging stays in one place?
Short answer
The place of lodging is regarded as a place of residence, so the prayers must be performed in full while staying there.

Summary
The place of lodging is regarded as a place of residence, so the prayers must be performed in full while staying there. If the traveller goes to another place and that journey reaches two marhalah, it counts as a new journey. During that journey, shortening (qasar) and combining (jamak) the prayers is permitted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam kes ini, tempat bermalam penanya itu dikira sebagai tempat bermukim, maka penanya perlu solat secara tamam (sempurna, bukan qasar) ketika berada di situ.
