A person leaves home with the intention of staying 15 days or more at the destination.

Question

A person leaves home with the intention of staying 15 days or more at the destination. However, at the destination he is not sure of how long he will be staying. It may be more or less than 15 days. Will this person be a musaafir?

Answer

If the person at his destination makes the intention of 15 or more days, then he will be a muqeem even if he stays less than 15 days. If on reaching his destination he is not sure of the number of days he will be staying, then he will be a musaafir. He has to perform Qasr Salaat. If there is no certitude in his intention, he will be a musaafir.
