AL-KAFI #1289 : PERLUKAH QADHA' SOLAT MUSAFIR YANG DIBUAT TIDAK CUKUP SYARAT SAH
Must prayers that were combined and shortened without meeting the valid conditions of a traveller be made up?
Short answer
A traveller who intends to stay four days or more at a destination, not counting the days of arrival and departure, is considered a resident upon arrival, so combining and shortening the prayers is invalid and they must be made up.

Summary
A traveller who intends to stay four days or more at a destination, not counting the days of arrival and departure, is considered a resident upon arrival, so combining and shortening the prayers is invalid and they must be made up. He should count the days as best he can, and if unsure between two numbers, he takes the higher one. Maghrib and Subuh need not be repeated, and for prayers that were only combined, only Asr and Isha performed as advance combination must be made up. A person detained by a need that cannot be completed within three days may combine and shorten for up to 18 days.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam mazhab al-Syafie, salah satu syarat sah mengqasarkan solat itu ialah hendaklah tidak berniat menetap selama empat hari di tempat yang dituju selain pada hari mula sampai dan pada hari akan keluar.
