Question

I travelled to the city from a village which is 220 km away. I will stay here for two months. I thought I was in Qasar and offered Salaah with Jamaat in the musjid. Are my Salaahs valid?

Answer

The Salaah you performed behind the Imaam in the Musjid is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
