If one goes on vacation to visit his family, does he shorten the prayer or not?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : Noble Shaykh, if I arrive at my family’s home on Thursday and Friday, is it better for me to shorten the prayer or complete it, and is combining prayers permissible?

The Shaykh : To your family.

The questioner : Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : If a person arrives at his family’s home on Thursday and Friday, his journey has ended, so he must complete the prayer and it is not permissible for him to combine prayers.
