The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man from the residents of Riyadh traveled to Hofuf al-Batin, then returned intending to go to Hawtat Bani Tamim. He passed through Riyadh on his way. While passing through, he entered Riyadh, stopped at a station, and prayed the midday and afternoon prayers combined and shortened, interpreting that he was a traveler. He did not intend to reside in Riyadh; he merely passed through it. Is this action permissible for him?
The Shaykh:
Riyadh is a place of residence, and the city is a place of residence.
The questioner:
A resident of Riyadh.
The Shaykh:
Exactly. If he passes through his place of residence, the state of travel ends until he exits it. Once he exits it, a second, new journey begins. The first journey ended with his arrival from the journey.
