Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I reside in Riyadh, and I am going to travel to Britain to visit my father there for two weeks. May I shorten the prayer for four days and then complete it afterward, or is it obligatory for me to complete it from the beginning?
Answer:
No, my brother, you complete it from the beginning, if you know that you will stay more than four days from the time you arrive in the country of residence, from the first time, and you are completing the prayer. Yes.
