Qasr salaah while on Haj

As salaamu alaikum

Respected Mufti Saheb

Insha Allah, I will be leaving for Haj. I will be staying in Makka for 15 days, and in Azeezia for 10 days.

Will I be musaafir in Azeezia?
And during the days of Haj, will I be Musaafir in Mina,Arafaat and Muzdalifa?

 

 

Answer

 

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM

Since it is your intention to stay 15 days in Makkah Muazzamah, you will not be a musaafir. You have to perform Salaat in full in Makkah as well as Azeeziah which is a suburb of Makkah. During the Days of Hajj you will still be a Muqeem because the distance you will be travelling to Arafaat  is less than 77 km (48 miles). At Mina, Mudhdalifah and Arafaat you will therefore not be a musaafir.
