A person who is constantly traveling for transport: Does he shorten the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A man. A transport driver, 'Abd al-Rahman, is always traveling. Does he shorten the prayer or not? He is always traveling from Makkah to al-Madinah, to Riyadh, to al-Dammam, yes? Because his travel is a passing journey.

Answer : He is in his village, so he shortens the prayer, and the hadith is general and the verse is general:
And when you travel throughout the landوَإِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ
[An-Nisa 4:101]
So as long as they are traveling in the land, they shorten the prayer.
