Shortening and Combining Prayers for a Resident Staying a Week in Another City

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ahmad from Rabigh, go ahead, Ahmad. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. I have a question, if you permit. We are a group who travel from one city to another, from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah to Rabigh, and we stay for the entire week, and at the end of the week we return to al-Madinah. Do we have the right to shorten and combine prayers? Thank you, Ahmad.

Answer:
No, you do not have the right to shorten or combine prayers. If you intend to stay for a week in the city you traveled to, pray with the people and complete the prayer, and do not shorten it. Yes.
