Will I pary Full or pray Qasr, while in Jubail or on the way to Dammam?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, when one undertakes a journey of 78 kms or more, he will be a musafir. A musafir will make qasr (perform two rakats) in Dhuhr, Asr and Isha salats.

When you leave the boundary/housing vicinity of Dammam to travel to Jubail, you will be a musafir. You will make qasr on the way to Jubail and while you are in Jubail until you return to the boundary/housing vicinity of Dammam. When you enter the boundary/housing vicinity of Dammam, you will perform full four rakats Salah in Dhuhr, Asr & Isha.[i]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
