AL-KAFI #513: MASA SOLAT JAMAK QASAR
Can Zuhr and Asr be combined and shortened early (jamak qasar taqdim) at a train station if one departs before or after Zuhr time begins?
Short answer
If a person sets out before Zuhr time begins and the distance exceeds 2 marhalah, he may perform the jamak qasar of Zuhr and Asr in advance (taqdim).

Summary
If a person sets out before Zuhr time begins and the distance exceeds 2 marhalah, he may perform the jamak qasar of Zuhr and Asr in advance (taqdim). If Zuhr time has already begun and he has not yet departed, jamak qasar taqdim is not permitted. A prayer whose time has entered before the journey begins cannot be shortened, since the person was not yet a traveller when it became obligatory, so it must be performed in full.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat yang telah masuk waktunya tetapi belum ditunaikan sebelum memulakan perjalanan tidak harus diqasarkan kerana seseorang itu belum dikatakan bermusafir ketika solat tersebut wajib atasnya.
