The ruling on shortening the prayer for a pilgrim who stays for more than four days

Question:
May Allah reward you. The sender, Khalid Yahya from the Noble City of Makkah, asks: What is the ruling on shortening the prayer for a pilgrim during his stay of more than four days in Makkah, and likewise regarding the regular voluntary prayers, since the recommended practice in travel is to leave off the recommended practice?

Answer:
If a person intends to stay for four days during his travel, whether in Makkah or elsewhere, for four days or less, there is no harm in shortening the prayer if he prays alone or prays with other travelers like him. However, if he prays with the residents or the people of the town, he must complete the prayer, because the one praying behind the imam follows the imam, so he must complete it. If he intends to stay for more than four days, the state of travel is broken, and he is required to complete the prayer, because he has become a resident, and a resident completes the prayer. Yes.
