A traveler who stayed for three weeks: does he avail himself of the dispensations of travel, and are the voluntary prayers dropped for him?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Our Shaykh, I have two questions. May Allah grant you well-being. The first question is about the sunnah prayers while traveling. My mother is currently outside the Kingdom. Does she pray the sunnah prayers? Are they dropped for her, or is there no problem with her praying them? Please, let the Shaykh answer.
The Shaykh:
Is the father abroad? Is he a resident? Or does he intend to return, staying no more than four days? Or does he intend to stay for a long period?
The questioner:
Her brothers, her father, and her sisters are staying for three weeks and will return, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
If she intends to stay for more than four days, she prays the prayer of a resident, not the prayer of a traveler, and she performs the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) as well. Yes.
