Question:
The questioner asks: What is the duration for which the prayer is shortened?
Answer:
There is no specific duration for shortening the prayer. As long as a person is on the road, as long as he is traveling, he shortens the prayer until he returns. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to shorten the prayer from the time he set out until he returned and entered al-Madinah. So, as long as a person is traveling, he shortens the prayer, except if he intends to stay for more than four days; in that case, he completes the prayer, because he has become in the status of a resident, and the state of travel has ended for him.
