Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The one who intended to stay in a certain country for a limited period, you say that his ruling becomes that of a resident. He intended to stay for a week, but when he was about to travel, a matter arose that made him stay for another period. How is this sudden period calculated relative to the previous period? And what does the detail of this mean?
The Shaykh : I think there is an error in the question. What was the first period? It was a residence.
The questioner : A residence.
The Shaykh : And I think the question should be the opposite: that he arrived in a country and did not intend to reside, then it happened that he would reside for additional days. Is he considered a resident or a traveler? In the first case, he is a resident.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So a matter arose that made him extend the period of residence, so it is a period of residence.
The questioner : A residence, a period of residence, yes, because this questioner says this happened to him in this manner.
The Shaykh : Yes, a resident. A resident at the beginning, a resident at the end.
The questioner : Now, may Allah reward you, so that we benefit from the other scenario you mentioned, where he did not intend to reside and then a matter arose.
The Shaykh : That is the question that should be asked, not that one.
The questioner : Shaykh, that one is the reality.
The Shaykh : We did not disagree, and I gave you the answer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So the second case: a man arrived in a country and did not intend to reside; he was a traveler. Then he intended to reside. His ruling is the ruling of the first one, who intended to reside. After he intended to reside, not before.
The questioner : Yes, so he begins to pray the prayer in its normal form.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Of course, my Shaykh, you distinguish between the seriousness of travel regarding combining prayers.
The Shaykh : Between what?
The questioner : The seriousness of travel, regarding combining prayers. The one who combines prayers is the one who has set out on a journey. The one who has set out on a journey does not combine; he does not combine.
The Shaykh : I do not say this. Who says this other than me? I say the opposite.
The questioner : Ah, if it is confusing for me.
The Shaykh : I make no distinction for me between being serious in the journey or having stopped, based on the hadith of Mu'adh ibn Jabal in the Battle of Tabuk. So, although he had stopped, he prayed combining and shortening.
The questioner : Combining and shortening, yes.
The Shaykh : I think there is an error in the question. What was the first period? It was a residence.
The questioner : A residence.
The Shaykh : And I think the question should be the opposite: that he arrived in a country and did not intend to reside, then it happened that he would reside for additional days. Is he considered a resident or a traveler? In the first case, he is a resident.

That the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped in a place, and the time for the midday and afternoon prayers arrived. So he went out and prayed, then he came in. Then, at the time of the sunset prayer, he went out
