Is the tawruk performed in a four-rak'ah prayer if it is shortened?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a four-rak'ah prayer is shortened, does the one praying perform the tawruk in it?

Answer:
No. The two-rak'ah prayer, whether shortened or not, does not have a tawruk in it. This is only for the extra rak'ahs beyond two, such as in Maghrib, 'Isha', Zuhr, and 'Asr. In the prayer that has two sittings, he performs the tawruk in the last sitting and sits in the iftirash position in the first. As for the prayer that has only one tashahhud, he sits in the iftirash position in it and does not perform the tawruk. Yes.
