If one is traveling in an airplane and delays the midday and afternoon prayers until he arrives in his home country, does he pray them as a traveler or as a resident?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I was traveling today, and the time for the midday and afternoon prayers came while I was on the plane. So I arrived in my home country, where I do not shorten the prayer. Does this mean I pray them as making up a missed prayer, or does it mean I pray them shortened, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you. When did you arrive in your country?
The questioner : I arrived during the time of the afternoon prayer.
The Shaykh : You pray as a resident.
The questioner : Even the midday prayer, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : You pray as a resident.
The questioner : Meaning, because I have become a resident?
The Shaykh : O, glory to Allah! You pray as a resident.
The questioner : I heard you, O Shaykh, but why?
The Shaykh : Because you have become a resident. May Allah guide you.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. Forgive us for disturbing you.
The Shaykh : Pardon me.
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you. When did you arrive in your country?
The questioner : I arrived during the time of the afternoon prayer.
The Shaykh : You pray as a resident.

The Shaykh : You pray as a resident.
The questioner : Meaning, because I have become a resident?
The Shaykh : O, glory to Allah! You pray as a resident.

The Shaykh : Because you have become a resident. May Allah guide you.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. Forgive us for disturbing you.
