If the distance between the job and his home is at least 78km (شرعی مسافت)

الاستفتاء

میں سراتوگا میں نوکری کرتاہوں، اور وہاں میں پیر سے جمعے تک رہتاہوں، کیا میں وہاں قصر نماز پڑھوں گا یا پوری؟

الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

If the distance between the questioner’s job and his home is at least 78km (شرعی مسافت), and he has not intended even once, having with him any necessities of living, to reside there for 15 days or more, then in that case, when the questioner goes to his job, he will have to shorten his Salah (prayer) when he performs it individually. And if the distance is less than 78km, or the questioner has, even one time, intended to reside there for 15 days or more, then in that case the questioner will have to perform his Salah fully, no matter how long he will remain there for, under the condition that his necessities of living is also available there.
