The questioner : Yes, if a person enters the prayer while traveling and intends to pray four rak'ahs, then remembers that he is a traveler and shortens it, is his prayer valid?
The Shaykh : Yes, because the default for the traveler's prayer is shortening, and it does not require an intention. Shortening for the traveler does not require an intention because it is the default.
The questioner : Years.
