Question:
May Allah reward you. A person says: He traveled to a certain country for the purpose of work, and after a few days, the month of Ramadan came upon him. Is fasting obligatory upon him? Is the Friday prayer in congregation obligatory upon him? Is he required to shorten the prayers? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If a traveler, whether a worker or otherwise, intends to stay for more than four days during his journey, he takes on the rulings of a resident. He completes the prayers, fasts Ramadan, and prays Jumu'ah with the Muslims, because the rulings of travel have ceased to apply to him, and he has become a resident in that country where he works or resides. Yes.
