A university student who follows the teachings of the Supreme Leader asks about performing the Fajr prayer as Qada while traveling. He mentions that he combines the shortened prayer with the obligatory prayer due to the distance to his university. However, he sometimes misses the Fajr prayer and wonders if he can perform it during the Dhuhr time as both a Qada and a shortened prayer.

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
According to Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
The Fajr and Maghrib prayers cannot be shortened; the four-unit prayer is the one that requires shortening while traveling.
Therefore, if you miss the Fajr or Maghrib prayer during its designated time, you must perform it as a Qada, whether you are traveling or at home.
May you be successful in all good.
