If Dammam is not your home and you came to it intending to stay for less than four days, you may shorten the prayer. You may shorten the prayer. However, if you are near a congregation that is being held or a mosque that is close to you, you pray with the congregation in the mosque and you do not leave the congregation, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam) You are required to pray with the Muslims in the mosques near you and complete the prayer with them.
