The answer

Some jurists are of the opinion that the limit for praying in full is twenty prayers, while others hold it to be twenty-one prayers. Accordingly, whoever knows that he will stay for four full days, excluding the days of arrival and departure, should pray in full and not shorten his prayers. However, if the days of arrival and departure are included within these four days, then there is no blame upon him if he shortens his prayers.
