Shortening and Combining Prayers for One Who Visits a City and Stays There for Several Days

The questioner:
Regarding the Shaykh, I go to al-Qassim sometimes once or twice a month and stay for two or three days. I shorten the prayer and combine it with the other prayer. Could you clarify this for us? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
Your residence is there, my brother, in al-Qassim and elsewhere.

The questioner:
I rent an apartment and stay in it for two or three days, and then, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh:
Where is your residence?

The questioner:
My residence is in Riyadh.

The Shaykh:
In Riyadh, you go to al-Qassim as a visitor.

The questioner:
I go to al-Qassim as a visitor.

The Shaykh:
You pray with the congregation if there is a congregation around you. But if you pray alone or with people who are travelers and shorten the prayer, as long as your stay is less than four days. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
