The questioner:
Peace be upon you. I am from al-Taif, or I travel weekly to the city of Jeddah for work, and I stay there for five days. Is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer
The Shaykh:
to stay.
The questioner:
Five days.
The Shaykh:
No, the state of travel is broken if he stays for five days, knowing that he will stay for five days. The travel is broken from the moment he arrives in Jeddah, and he is considered a resident. However, if he does not know the duration of his stay in Jeddah, he shortens the prayer because his travel has not been broken as long as he has not decided to stay. Yes.
