The ruling on shortening the prayer for a traveler in the city

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am traveling to another city, and I will stay for three days. I want to shorten and combine the prayers. Is it obligatory for me to perform the prayer in the mosque, combining and shortening?

Answer:
If there is a mosque near you with a congregation, it is obligatory for you to attend the congregation and pray with them, completing the prayer with them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever hears the call and does not come, his prayer is not valid, except for those who have an excuse.من سمع النداء فلم يأته فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam)
, and you are not excused. Yes.
