The ruling on shortening the prayer and combining it for a resident who is traveling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a resident of the city of Ta'if, with a full residence there, Honorable Shaykh, but I travel back and forth to Jeddah and Makkah. Is there a ruling on shortening and combining the prayers?

Answer:
If your place of residence is in Ta'if, your home is in Ta'if, and you go to Makkah or Jeddah, then you combine and shorten the prayers on the way, both going and returning. As for in Jeddah or Makkah, you pray with the congregation, completing the prayer following the imam. And if you pray alone or with people like you who are travelers, then you combine and shorten, or you shorten only, praying each prayer in its time as long as you are a resident during your travel? Yes.
