Traveling to a country where one has a relative at the distance of shortening: Does one shorten the prayer?

Q: If a person travels from Riyadh to Makkah and passes through al-Qasim on the way, and he has some relatives in al-Qasim, and he stays with them for two days, is he considered a traveler or a resident?

A: This person is considered a traveler as long as he is not in his home country, even if he has a relative there, such as a brother or a sister or someone else. However, he should not pray alone; rather, he should pray with the congregation and complete the four rak'ahs with them, because praying in congregation is obligatory. As for if he is with another person or more, they may shorten the prayer, and they may pray with the congregation of the town and complete it.
However, if he intends to stay for more than four days, he must complete the four-rak'ah prayer, whether the traveler is alone or they are a group.
