Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I stay in a town for less than four days, is it obligatory for me to pray in the mosque in congregation, and likewise to pray the Friday prayer, or is it merely recommended?
Answer:
No, you pray with the congregation, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352 So you pray with the congregation, you respond to the call, and you do not say, "I am a traveler," while you see them completing the prayer. It is obligatory for you to attend and pray with them, whether you stay for four days, less, or more. Yes.

من سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
