I went from my home to a town 30 km away.

Question

I went from my home to a town 30 km away. This was my intention. However, at this town I decided to go to another town about 60 km from this town. The total distance from my hometown is 90 km. How was I supposed to perform Salaat? I made Qasr.

Answer

In the case mentioned by you, you had to perform full Salaat, not Qasr, since the niyyat at the time of departing from home was not to travel the safar distance of 77 km. The town a few kilometres away is less than 77 km from the first place where you had intended, hence you were not a Musaafir regardless of it being 90 km from your hometown.
