Does a traveler shorten the prayer if he stays for two or three days in another city where he owns a furnished house or a furnished apartment, and he does not have a wife there, but he does have relatives and kin? And does he shorten the prayer if he has a child or parents there, and the duration of stay is a duration that permits shortening?

If a city is not a person's homeland, and he does not have a wife there, and he does not intend to stay there for four days, then the presence of an apartment and relatives (including parents and children) does not nullify the ruling of travel, and he is permitted to shorten his prayers therein.
