Q&A (Fatwa)
#17. THE PERIOD FOR THE OBSERVANCE OF QASR
” Salamu alaykum, please I have question. If someone travel from far state to another state, the salat that the person will pray (Salatu Qosri) is it for three days or a week”
ANSWER
Wa alaykum salaam warahmatullaah wabarakaatuh
Alhamdulillaah!
The position of the majority of the Imaams is that the observance of Qasr must not exceed four days or twenty Salaat.
The position of some of the Muhaqqiqun on this matter is that it can be performed as long as one remains a stranger or a traveler.
Considering the evidences of the Qur’an and Sun ah, the position of the Muhaqqiqun is more correct.
