Fatwa #728726 November 2002United States of America
I am on a work journey about 18 hours away via flight from my home town. I will be here (China) for two months. Qasr or full salat?
Question
What should I pray whilst in this extensive traveling journey. Qasr or full salat? I am in this travel period now and in the first 10 days of it. There is a quite a bit of uncertainity regarding days I will spend in a specific place. I.E My first day I was told to go to this another place in two days. I am aware of the stay of fifteen days ruling; requires full salat. But in my case, I am not aware of my travel. What should I do?
Answer
You will be a musafir throughout your stay in China and you will have to make Qasr for Dhuhr, Asr, and Isha salaats.
