Ruling on shortening the prayer of a traveler who arrives in his hometown after the time has entered

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
If I know that I will not reach my hometown until after the 'Asr or 'Isha' adhan, should I pray the shortened prayer?

Answer:
You have a choice. If you pray it on the way, you shorten it. If you delay it until you reach your hometown, you pray four rak'ahs with the people.
