Shortening the Prayer for One Who Stays in His Place of Travel for Twenty Days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a person who travels abroad frequently for the purpose of trade, and I stay there for a period that does not exceed twenty days. Is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer, or must I complete it?

Answer:
No, if you intend to stay for more than four days, it is not permissible for you to shorten the prayer, nor to combine prayers, nor to break your fast in Ramadan; because you are a resident, and the state of travel is broken by a long stay. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
