Question:
We have completed our travel from the city of Riyadh, and then we rented a rest house for one day. Is the prayer in this case shortened, or do we pray the full prayer?
Answer:
As long as you did not intend to stay for more than four days, you may shorten the prayer. You may shorten the four-rak'ah prayers, because a short stay does not prevent shortening the prayer or breaking the fast in Ramadan, because it does not invalidate the travel in which you are. A stay of one, two, three, or up to four days, all of this does not invalidate or diminish the rulings of travel, so you may shorten the prayer in it. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you well.
