QUESTION:
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
A man who has not intended a specific duration for his stay, but knows that his need will not exceed a month and that he will return within that period, can he shorten his prayers?
ANSWER (Sheikh Abdulkhāliq Al-'Imād):
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
"If he is certain that he will stay more than four days, then the rulings of travel are not applicable to him; this is the strongest and most valid opinion; If he knows that he will stay more than four days, then he should complete the prayers and not shorten them."
