Shortening the prayer for one who stays more than four days and then travels a short distance

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I stay in a town for more than four days and I want to go to a place that is ten kilometers from where I am staying, am I allowed to shorten the prayer when the time for prayer enters? Because people need this ruling, especially when they go to funerals. He says: If I stay in a town for more than four days and I want to go to a place that is ten kilometers from where I am staying, do I shorten the prayer when the time for prayer enters, especially since people need this ruling when they go to funerals?

The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for you to shorten the prayer, because ten kilometers is considered a short distance from the town and does not break the state of residence. If you intend to travel eighty kilometers or more, yes. But less than eighty kilometers does not take you out of the ruling of residence, so you must complete the prayer.

He says: Honorable.

The Shaykh:
(peace and blessings be upon him) when he left al-Abtah for Mina, because he would continue his journey after Hajj; he was going to travel. He went out to perform the rites at 'Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina, and then, once he was finished, he was going to travel, continuing his journey, yes.
