Musaafir performing full salaah after performing qasar salaah
Question
If musaafir performs two rakaats and someone tells him we should pray four. Due to confusion he reads four again. Which one is counted?
Answer
If he was a musaafir then the first two were counted.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
