Question:
For how long can one shorten prayers while on a journey? (How many days maximum).
Answer:
The criterion for Qasr Salaah is the distance being travelled and the duration of stay at the temporary venue. One who travels 77.7 km or more and will stay at a place for 14 days or less, qualifies as a Musaafir. If a person is travelling this distance or more, Qasr Salaah will commence as soon as the person leaves the border of his hometown.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
