Performing qasar salaah in university

Question

I live in the university hostel which is 150km away from my home. I go home almost every weekend and return on Monday to the hostel, that means I travel 4 times in a month. So should I pray normal or qasr namaz in the hostel?

Answer

If you perform salaah alone or behind a musaafir, you should perform qasar salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
