Salaah of a musaafir who changed his intention to stay longer

· 1 Safar 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have been on holiday for 10 days so I've been reading Qasr salaah and was supposed to leave back home on the 14th day. I've decided to stay on another week. Do I continue reading Qasr salaah or I have to start reading full salaah.

Answer

After changing your intention, since you are not staying for 15 days or more, you will still be a musaafir.

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