Does a person shorten the prayer he missed while traveling if he has arrived in his home town?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Sometimes I travel from al-Madinah after the Maghrib prayer, intending to go to Makkah, and I delay the 'Isha' prayer until I reach my residence in Makkah, hoping for the reward and recompense for delaying the prayer. So, do I shorten the prayer or do I complete it?

Answer:
Once you reach the town where you are staying, the travel ends. So, you must complete the prayer; you pray it in full and do not shorten it. The shortening ends as soon as you enter the town where you intend to stay and reside. Yes.
