Question
I intend staying in Makkah for 15 days. However, during the 15 days, I will travel to Jeddah for a day trip which is 80km away from Makkah. Upon my return to Makkah do I perform my Salaat in full or Qasr since upon my return from Jeddah, I will be staying in Makkah for less than 15 days as I will move to Aziziah?
Answer
You will be a muqeem in Makkah as you intend to stay for 15 days, hence full salaah will be performed. When you intended to under take a journey of 77km or more you become a musafir and your status as a muqeem is nullified. Upon returning to Makkah from Jeddah, you will now be a musafir as your stay in Makkah is less than 15 days.
