Question

Q. Mufti sb explain a masala, if a person intends going on a journey for a month then should he read Qasar salaat from the inception of his departure or does he wait for 15 days to pass first and read full salaat then commences with qasar after the 15 days

Answer

Enroute to one’s destination, one will read Qasr. When he reaches his destination, he will read full Salaah as he immediately becomes a Muqeem due to his intention of residing in that place for 15 days. He will not wait for 15 days to pass to start reading full Salaah.
