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.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
