Fatwa #215730 January 2001United States of America
If a Haaji stays in Makkah Mukarramah for 15 days only including the fivedays of Hajj, will he be considered a Muqeem or Musaafir?
Answer
The Haaji will be a Musaafir (Raddul Mukhtaar vol.1 pg.571; Kuwait). He
will have to make Qasr (perform two Rakaat Salaats in Dhuhr, Asr and Esha
Salaats), if he performs it individually or behind a Musaafir Imaam. If the
Imaam is a Muqeem, the Haaji will follow the Imaam and perform complete
Salaat.
