Typically most truckers will not stay at one place for longer than four days. I was told one time that this was not permissible but today my at my local masjid the Imam held a Q&A and he stated that the trucker can shorten and combine. Does the ruling differ for the one whose job is in a set location but is far enough to permit shortening?\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"A person that is constantly traveling is permitted to combine and shorten their prayers, according to the Shafi school.
