Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If his family is in one town and his job is in a town at the distance of shortening, and he stays at his workplace for two days, is it permissible for him to shorten the prayer?
Answer:
If he is in a town with mosques around him, it is not permissible for him to leave the congregation; he must pray with the congregation and complete the prayer with them. However, if he misses the prayer or there is no mosque, there is no harm in his shortening the prayer, because his stay is short.
