Is it permissible for a traveler for the sake of study or treatment to take advantage of the dispensations for travel?

Question:
He says: My son asked me, and he is studying, about combining prayers and taking advantage of the dispensations. What is the stronger position, Honorable Shaykh, regarding the traveler for study or treatment with respect to the prayers?

Answer:
The one who resides for study, or who stays for many days during his travel, has his state of travel ended and becomes a resident. He prays every prayer in its proper time, in full, with the congregation if possible, and he fasts Ramadan. This is what is obligatory for him, because he is not a traveler but a resident with a long stay for study. He may build a residence or rent one, because he is a resident. So he does not take the rulings of the traveler. Yes.
