Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a student living in Riyadh. Am I considered to be traveling or not? And do I pray the regular voluntary prayers?
Answer:
With your stay in Riyadh, you are a resident and not a traveler. Since studying requires a long stay, you are a resident, and you complete the prayers and fast in Ramadan according to the ruling for residents. You only shorten the prayers while traveling to and from. However, during your stay in Riyadh for study, you complete the prayers and fast in Ramadan because your stay is long.
