Is a person who works in a different city on weekdays due to his job and goes back to his home at the weekends deemed as a traveler in the city where he works?

If a person whose workplace, to which he commutes all the time, is at least 90 kilometers away from his house and who stays in the place where his workplace is situated for less than 15 days according to Hanafis and for less than 4 days according to Shafi’is; stays in a place such as hotel, guesthouse, etc. in the city where his workplace is situated, he is deemed as a traveler there. If he stays in a place owned or rented by him, he is not deemed as a traveler in the place where his workplace is situated (see. Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, II, 614; Bilmen, ilmihal, p. 163).
