Question:
He says that he works in an oil company, and it is in the desert. So, does he shorten the prayer?
Answer:
We say that if the company is eighty kilometers or more away from the town, and your stay at work is less than four days, it is permissible for you to shorten the prayer because you are a traveler. However, if you stay more than four days at the place of work, you are required to complete the prayer, and it is not permissible for you to shorten it.
