Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I want to travel, and I do not know how long I will remain a traveler; I may stay for two days or two weeks. He says: Is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer for the entire duration of my travel?

Answer:
If you did not intend to stay for more than four days, you may shorten the prayer. Yes.
