Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am from Jeddah, and I come to Riyadh every week for three or four days for the sake of study, then I return to my family in Jeddah. His question is: Am I permitted to combine and shorten the prayers in Riyadh?
Answer:
If your stay is less than four days, yes. Because the state of travel has not ended. However, if you intend to stay for more than four days, the state of travel ends, so you do not shorten or combine the prayers in Riyadh. Yes.
