The prayer must be completed in Pakistan due to the presence of family there and because it is the second homeland, and in Afghanistan because it is the original homeland and due to the presence of official work, real estate, and properties there. The prayer must be completed in the same city where the family or work is located. As for the distance between two cities within one of these two countries, it is permissible to shorten the prayer if the distance reaches the distance for shortening.
