Does one who travels to his wife in another country for three days every month shorten and combine his prayers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I reside in Riyadh and am married to a widow who has orphaned children in another country. I travel to her house for only three days every month. Do I shorten or combine my prayers if I am in her country and miss the congregational prayer?

Answer:
The ruling concerns the country where you reside, the place where you live. As for the countries you visit for a need, they are not your country of residence, so you shorten your prayers there. As for the country of residence, you do not shorten your prayers there, due to settlement and residence. Yes.
