What is the ruling on shortening and completing the prayer for a traveler whose travel is recurring for permanent work, where he travels for two weeks and returns for two weeks, and the distance exceeds 83 kilometers?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The imamate of this person is valid and sufficient in all cases, because he is either a resident in his home, or a resident for a period that severs travel (two weeks), or he shortens the prayer at his workplace, following some scholars who believe that a traveler may shorten prayers as long as he does not intend absolute permanent residence. There is no need for anyone who prayed behind him to repeat their prayer.
