Answer:
This is a mistake, and this fatwa is a mistake. If a traveler intends to reside during his journey for a period of more than four days, he is required to follow the rulings of a resident. He must complete the prayer and fast in Ramadan, and he does not avail himself of the dispensations for travel. Yes.
