When will one be a musaafir?
Question
My office is 75-80 KM from home. Where can I offer Kasar Prayer at home, office or not anywhere?
Answer
If the distance between the border of your town till the border of the town where you work is 78km or more then you can make qasar. If less, you will perform complete Salaah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
