AL-KAFI #1688 : MUSAFIR SELEPAS MASUK WAKTU SOLAT: ADAKAH BOLEH JAMAK QASAR?
If someone sets out on a journey after the prayer time has already begun, may they combine and shorten their prayers, including both early and delayed combining?
Short answer
Scholars differ on this, but the fatwa leans towards the established Shafi'i position that a person who travels after the first prayer's time has begun may take the concession of combining and shortening for prayers that can be combined.

Summary
Scholars differ on this, but the fatwa leans towards the established Shafi'i position that a person who travels after the first prayer's time has begun may take the concession of combining and shortening for prayers that can be combined. The concession applies once travel occurs, and shortening or combining does not remove the obligation to pray. For delayed combining, the intention to combine must be made after leaving the residential area. Leaving the dispute by not using the concession is better when there is no need.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun begitu, mengambil langkah keluar daripada khilaf ulama itu adalah jalan terbaik jika tiada keperluan.
