Question

Insha Allah I have intention for Hajj. So we leave on the 28th of April from JHB.

We'll be 10 days in Makkah

Then 12 days in Azzizia

Then 6 days of Hajj

Then another 6 days in Azzizia.

So what I want know is where am I musaafir in this whole trip and where am I muqeem? Do I regard Makkah and Azzizia as 1 or what?

Answer

Since Makkah and Azeezia are joined and are regarded as one place, your total stay is 22 days in one place. Hence, you will not be a musaafir.

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