The ruling on shortening the prayer for one who has moved from his original city

The questioner : If a person is residing in a city, and this city has become a city of travel for him, but he has not yet moved from this situation, does he…

The Shaykh : How is your situation?

The questioner : I mean, to some extent.

The Shaykh : He intended permanent residence.

The questioner : First, regarding permanent residence, meaning he was in the city and was one of its residents.

The Shaykh : Yes, and then after that.

The questioner : The type of move, meaning.

The Shaykh : He intended to move. Well, we say: Do not shorten the prayer until you leave.

The questioner : Meaning the ruling continues.

The Shaykh : He is completely settled. Yes.

The questioner : Then if you move. How?

The Shaykh : Meaning, if he takes a home other than the first one, then if he returns to the first one as a traveler, it is a place of travel for him, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did in Makkah, for he used to shorten the prayer in Makkah even though it was his original city,
