The homeland recognized by Islamic law is the place where one intends to reside permanently. If you intend to reside permanently in your place of work, then it is a homeland for you. If you travel to your father's house and intend to stay for four days or more, then it is not permissible for you to shorten or combine prayers. However, it is permissible for you to do so while traveling to your homeland and returning to your father's house.
