Summary
The qasar prayer is prescribed during travel as a concession and a charity from Allah. It is not obligatory, since someone offered charity is not required to accept it. The majority of scholars hold it to be recommended (sunnah), and in the Shafi'i school both qasar and full prayer are permissible, with qasar being more virtuous.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan alasan ini dan alasan-alasan yang lain lagi, majoriti ulama berpandangan hukum solat Qasar adalah sunat.
