The questioner:
A person traveled to Riyadh from a distance that qualifies for shortening the prayer and stayed for four and a half days. Is it permissible for him to combine and shorten?
The Shaykh:
No. If his stay exceeds four days, he does not combine or shorten, because the state of travel is broken when he intends to stay. If he intends to stay, that is the case. However, if his stay exceeds four days and he did not intend to stay, but rather stayed for a need and does not know when it will end, then he combines and shortens, because he is still a traveler, as he did not intend a long stay. Yes.
