How is the four-rak'ah prayer performed in the prayer of fear?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Hmm? The general rule is that what occurred during the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was not a four-rak'ah prayer, because it was during travel, so it was a two-rak'ah prayer. But if it were assumed that the enemy attacked them while they were in a settled location, shortening is not possible; they would pray two rak'ahs with one group, then they complete the prayer, and then they turn to the enemy, and so on.
