Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In *Al-Fawa'id* by Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him), it is reported from Ibn Abbas that if a traveler arrives at his livestock or at a town where he has a wife, he completes the prayer. Can this be extended by analogy to a craft, such that if a traveler arrives at his farm, he completes the prayer? That is the point.

Answer:
If the town is his place of residence, his place of residence, then the state of travel ends. But if the town is one he emigrated from or departed from to go to another town, and he comes to it as a passerby, he is a traveler. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) emigrated from Makkah, and when he came during the Battle of the Conquest and during the Farewell Pilgrimage, he shortened the prayer. Makkah was his first town, but he emigrated from it, moved from it, and his place of residence became al-Madinah.
