Question

If I leave my hometown Benoni to sandton (my workplace) which is 40 km away with the intention of going to klerksdorp which is 140km distance from my home town. Should I make Qasr at my workplace?

Answer

At the time you left home (Benoni), if you intended travelling to Klerksdorp, you will be a Musaafir. Hence you should make Qasr at your work place.
