AL-KAFI #1219 : BOLEHKAH SOLAT QASAR TANPA JAMAK?
Is it permissible to shorten prayers (qasar) without combining them (jamak)?
Short answer
A traveller may shorten prayers without combining them. Qasar while travelling is a highly emphasised sunnah because the Prophet often practised it, while jamak is only permissible and leaving it is more virtuous, as cited from Imam al-Ghazali.

Summary
A traveller may shorten prayers without combining them. Qasar while travelling is a highly emphasised sunnah because the Prophet often practised it, while jamak is only permissible and leaving it is more virtuous, as cited from Imam al-Ghazali. However, if time is tight during the journey, it is preferable to combine the prayers to ease difficulty.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
