The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. When 'Asr was halfway through, I left the city of Dammam as a traveler intending to go to the city of al-Dawadimi. I missed the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, and I arrived late in al-Dawadimi. Do I pray them shortened?
The Shaykh : Is al-Dawadimi your home or not?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : No, you do not shorten it. When a person reaches his home, that is it; the shortening is over.
The questioner : I did not pray Maghrib.
The Shaykh : Even if you did not pray it, pray Maghrib, then pray 'Isha' as four rak'ahs.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Did you pray two rak'ahs?
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Did you pray two rak'ahs?
