Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My town is a thousand kilometers outside Riyadh, and I have been residing in Riyadh for many years. If I go down to my town to visit my father for only three days, is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer?
Answer:
No, because your father’s place is your place of residence, and you only came to Riyadh temporarily. So when you enter your town, you are required to complete the prayer, because it is your town and your place. Yes.
