The ruling on delaying the Maghrib prayer until 'Isha' for a traveler

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I traveled from Riyadh to Madinah and stopped at al-Qassim. I prayed the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers and sat there for a short while, then I set out, and the time for the Maghrib prayer entered while I was on my way to Madinah, before I had left al-Qassim. So I delayed it until the time of 'Isha'. Is this correct? Or was it obligatory for me to pray Maghrib in al-Qassim, since its time had entered while I was in al-Qassim?

Answer:
If al-Qassim is not your home country, and you are merely passing through it, with your home being Riyadh, then you are a traveler. Your passing through al-Qassim means you are a traveler, and you may delay the Maghrib prayer until 'Isha', whether you are sitting in al-Qassim or walking on the road, because you are sitting as a traveler. However, if al-Qassim is your home country and your place of residence, then you must pray what is obligatory upon you while you are in the town, praying it in its proper time and not delaying it. Yes.
