Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A family went to Makkah, and they are from the people of Riyadh, and they did not know how long they would stay. The women sometimes prayed the full prayer in the mosque, and sometimes, out of fatigue, they prayed in their accommodation but shortened it. Is what they did correct?
Answer:
If they did not know the duration of their stay, then it is correct. But if they knew that they would stay for more than four days, then it is not correct. Yes.
