Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 59
مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُقَصِّرُ فِي ضَيْعَتِهِ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ مَا لَمْ يَنْوِ مُقَامَ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ بِهَا مَنْزِلٌ يَسْتَوْطِنُهُ» قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا اَلاِسْتِيطَانُ فَقَالَ «أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ بِهَا مَنْزِلٌ يُقِيمُ فِيهِ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ يُتِمُّ فِيهَا مَتَى دَخَلَهَا.
Muhammad ibn Isma'il ibn Bazi' reported from Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha عليه السلام that he asked about a man shortening his prayers at his property. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm as long as he does not intend to stay for ten days, unless he has a house there where he resides." I asked him, "What is meant by 'resides'?" Imam عليه السلام said: "It means he has a house where he stays for six months. If that is the case, he should complete (his prayers) whenever he enters it."
