If a person travels a distance that qualifies for shortening the prayer by plane and returns on the same day, does he shorten the prayer?

Question : If a person travels and succeeds in his own mind, does he lose out?

Answer : By Allah, if the distance is far, such as if he travels to Riyadh by plane in the morning and then returns, he is a traveler; people consider him a traveler. But if he goes from Buraydah to al-Ras, for example, and returns on the same day, I do not consider him a traveler. And if the distance is ninety kilometers or so, the safest course is not to shorten the prayer; he should not shorten it and should not break his fast in Ramadan.
