Question:
This questioner says: We traveled as a group from Jeddah to Ta'if. We stopped when we arrived. Our stay was six days, so the imam who leads us said:
Answer:
We shorten the prayer for the first four nights. No, my brother, as long as you intend to stay for six days, it is not permissible for you to shorten the prayer from the moment you arrive. It is not permissible to shorten the prayer from the moment you arrive and settle down; you have become residents. You are required to complete the prayer with four rak'ahs. It is a mistake to shorten it for four days and complete it for two days. Yes.
