Ruling on the Friday prayer for the traveler

Question:
Some people traveled and the Friday prayer caught up with them. Do they pray the midday prayer shortened?

Answer:
On land?
Q: Yes, on land.
A: No, they pray the midday prayer only; they do not have to pray Friday.
Q: Do they not shorten the midday prayer?
A: Yes, they pray the midday prayer as two units; they only have to pray the midday prayer. Friday is for those who are residents and settled.
Q: Meaning, they shorten the midday prayer?
A: Yes, the midday prayer for them is in the state of travel; because the traveler does not have to pray Friday. But if they pass through a village or town and pray Friday with the people, it suffices for them in place of the midday prayer.
