SALAATUL MUSAAFIR This kind of a prayer is called Salaatul Qasr, it is a prayer for traveller’s. There are some conditions prescribed by the Islamic Shari’ah for the "reduced" Salat of the traveller. All these conditions should exist, otherwise the Salats would remain in their Tamam [complete] form, not Qasr. These conditions are:

1. Distance: The first conditions for the Salat to be reduced is that the total distance which a traveller is to cover must not be less than eight Farsakhs, four for going and four for the return2, (nearly 45 km).

2. From the beginning, the traveller's intention must be fixed on covering that distance in his journey, and his intention is to remain so, until he has covered it. If he did not have the intention of travelling that distance from the beginning of his journey, he would have to do the Tamam Salat, even if he had covered that very distance later on in his journey.

3. The travelling must be for a legitimate purpose.3 If it was for some illegitimate purpose, such as, if he travelled to do wrong, or to assist a wrongdoer, he must do the Tamam Salat.

4. From the beginning the traveller must not have the intention of staying4 10 days in the place to which he is travelling, nor have any doubt about his stay. If the traveller covers the whole (required) distance by joining together the two distances; that is four Farsakhs for going and four Farsakhs for return. Otherwise, if his intention was, from the beginning, to cover eight Farsakhs, the intention for 10 day stay and hesitation in staying would not affect the travel state, since he has not actually realised the 10 day stay.

5. He must not, at the start, have the intention of passing through his homeland or his place of residence, nor should he have any doubt about it. I stand to be corrected. 🙏🙏🙏
