AL-KAFI #1217 : TIDAK SOLAT SECARA QASAR KETIKA MUSAFIR
May a traveller pray in full without shortening the prayer?
Short answer

Summary
A traveller has the choice of shortening the prayer (qasar) or performing it in full, because qasar is a permitted concession and not an obligation. Even so, shortening the prayer is better, which is the view of most scholars including the Shafi'i school. The wisdom of the concession is to remove hardship during travel and ease the performance of obligatory worship.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, ketika musafir seseorang diberikan pilihan sama ada mahu melakukan solat secara qasar ataupun tamam (sempurna). Akan tetapi, lebih elok untuk dia mengqasarkan solat tersebut.
