Does a traveler complete their prayer if they pass through a town where they have family or property?

Primary text

Ahmad states in one view that the traveler must complete the prayer (i.e., pray the full four rak'ahs). This view is supported by the narration from Uthman, who prayed four rak'ahs in Mina, stating he had established residence ('ta'ahhul') in Makkah since his arrival, and that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever establishes residence in a land should pray the prayer of a resident." This hadith is narrated by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad. Ibn Abbas also supports this, stating that upon arriving where one has family or property, one should pray the prayer of the resident, because being present with one's family constitutes residency similar to the place from which one departed.
