Can I perform combined and shortened prayers when travelling about 100 km back to my home village?
Short answer
If a person still regards the village as his home, he may not combine and shorten his prayers.

Summary
If a person still regards the village as his home, he may not combine and shorten his prayers. If he is visiting his parents and already has a home in the city, combining and shortening are permitted. Scholars differ on the travel distance because it is an approximation rather than an exact measure, with figures such as 81 km, 89 km, 90 km and 91 km mentioned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika menganggap kampung masih rumah kita, tidak boleh. Jika menziarahi orang tua dan kita sudah ada rumah di Bandar, maka hukumnya dibolehkan.
