The ruling on combining and shortening prayers for a resident of Riyadh

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, the questioner, says: I am a teacher in Riyadh, and I go to Dammam. Is it permissible for me to combine and shorten the prayers when I go to my family in Dammam for four days? And what is the criterion for shortening the prayer?

Answer:
If you are settled in Riyadh, and you go to Dammam to visit, and you have moved from Dammam completely, and your residence has become Riyadh, then you shorten the prayer when you go to Dammam, on the way and in Dammam, unless you intend to stay for more than four days, in which case you complete the prayer, because the travel has ended. You also fast in Ramadan, because the travel has ended. Yes.
