Question:
This questioner says that he resides in Riyadh and goes to his family in Dammam for one, two, or three days. Does the ruling of being a traveler apply to him?
Answer:
If he came to Riyadh for study or for a temporary matter, and his permanent residence is in Dammam, then when he goes to Dammam and arrives there, he does not shorten the prayer, does not combine prayers, and does not break the fast, because he has returned to his permanent residence. However, if his permanent residence is in Riyadh, he combines and shortens the prayer in Dammam, even if his relatives and his father are there.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
