If you do not intend to stay for four days or more in Sana'a, and you do not have a resident wife there with whom you have consummated the marriage, then you are permitted to shorten the four-rak'ah prayers to two rak'ahs. However, if you intend to stay for four days or more, then you must perform the prayers in full, and you are not permitted to shorten them.
