The ruling on combining and shortening prayers for one who intends to reside for two years

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I was assigned to study for a period of two years, and while I was at my place of work there, I was combining and shortening my prayers while traveling, O Shaykh. Now that I have returned after the two years, is my practice correct?

Answer:
No, your practice is not correct, because you are a resident. You have been a resident for two years, so the state of travel has ended, my brother. If you reside for more than four days, or if you intend to reside for more than four days, it is not permissible for you to shorten or combine, because you have become a resident. Those who issue rulings and those who issue this ruling are in error; they are in error.
