Ruling on taking the dispensations of travel for a student residing at a university

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says that he is a university student studying in a city about thirty kilometers or more from his city of residence, such that he sometimes catches the midday and afternoon prayers. Knowing that some students from his city reside at the university during the study period, meaning for a week regarding the prayers, does he take the dispensations of travel?

Answer:
No. The one who resides for more than four days must complete the prayer and does not take the dispensations of travel, nor does he break his fast in Ramadan if he intends to reside for four days or more. As for the one who resides in a place during his travel and does not know when he will depart, he may shorten the prayer and combine the prayers because he is still counted as a traveler with the intention of travel. Yes.
