What is the ruling on performing voluntary prayers while traveling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I came from Qatar to perform 'Umrah, and I heard that the voluntary prayers are not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
In travel, soفي السفر، فهل
Should I pray them or not?

Answer:
If you are residing in Makkah or al-Madinah for a long period exceeding four days, then the state of travel has ended, and you must complete the prayer and perform the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) because you have become a resident. However, if you are on the road or your stay is less than four days and you shorten the prayer, do not perform the regular voluntary prayers. If you shorten, do not perform the regular voluntary prayers; and if you complete the prayer, perform the regular voluntary prayers. Yes.
