The Musafir stops at another place before reaching home, Does he still have to perform Qasr Salaah?
Question
My question is that b4 a musaafir returns to his home ,he stops at a relatives place but within the boundries of his town...can he make qasar?.. wslm
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
When a Musaafir returns home from a journey, the moment he enters the boundary of his home town or city, the obligation of performing Qasar Salaah terminates, whether or not he reached his own home.
