"Your ruling is the ruling of a traveler ..., and your visit to your family is the visit of a traveler. For this reason the Prophet (ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam) shortened the prayer in Makkah — even though he had formerly resided there and owned houses in it — but once he made hijrah, Madīnah became his homeland. So when you travel to [visit] your family, you are a traveler."
