If one arrives in Makkah in Ramadan, is he permitted to break his fast and shorten the prayer?

Question:
From Riyadh, a man says: A man arrived in Makkah to spend the last ten days of Ramadan there. Is he permitted to break his fast, shorten the prayer, and leave off the regular voluntary prayers? Or how do you direct him? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If he intended to stay in Makkah for more than four days, he is not permitted to shorten the prayer, nor to break his fast, nor to leave off the regular voluntary prayers; because he has become a resident. A stay of more than four days ends the state of travel and places the person in the ruling of residents, so it is not permissible for him to avail himself of the dispensations of travel. However, if he will stay in Makkah for less than four days, he may avail himself of the dispensations of travel. Or if he stays for a period whose end he does not know, having not specified it, he is still considered a traveler, and he may avail himself of the dispensations of travel. Yes.
