Question
A woman in the state of haidh is on a journey with her husband. Along the journey when she becomes paak, there remain about 50 kilometers to her destination. It is Zuhr time. Should she make qasar Salaat or perform the full 4 raka'ts. According to a fatwa issued by Mufti Taqi, she has to make qasar. We were always under the impression that in this scenario the woman has to perform four raka'ts. What is the correct fatwa?
Answer
She has to perform four raka'ts. Even at her destination she has to perform four raka'ts. She will not be a Shar'i musaafir. Only if she undertakes a journey of 77 km or more from her destination will she become a musaafir. Mufti Taqi's fatwa is incorrect. The Mujlisul Ulama is in the process of publishing a detailed refutation of Mufti Taqi's fatwa. The booklet shall soon be available on the website. Hard copies will also be available, Insha-Allah.
