Question

Assalaamualaikum ww

Respected Mufti Sahib, I am traveling the musaafir distance today (20th June) and on the 4th of July in the morning I will be returning. Should I read qasr salaah right through or not?

Answer

Respected brother, the response to your query is as follows :

Since you have not stayed for the full 15 days, you will read qasr right through.
