Question:

 

I was in the state of haidh and I set out on a journey of a safar distance. When I reached my destination, I intended on staying less than 15 days. Will I be considered as a musafir and should I make qasr or will I be reading full salah ?

 

 

 

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

 

In a normal circumstance where a woman leave her house in the state of Tuhur (purity) and travel the safar distance (78km), she will be considered as a musafir and she will do Qasr of the 4 rakah fardh salah.

 

However when she goes on a journey while in the state of Haidh, then it can be classified as follows;

 

• She becomes pure upon reaching her destination, then she will not be considered as a musafir and there will be no Qasr

 

• She is travelling and still has more than 78km to reach her destination, then she will be considered as a musafir and she will do Qasr.

 

• She experienced haidh during the journey and ended it in the journey, then she will be a musafir and will do Qasr

 

Therefore based on the question, where one set out on a journey while in the state of haidh and has reached the destination, one will not be a musafir and will have to perform the full salah and there will be no Qasr.

ولو طهرت الحائض في السفر، وبينهما وبين المقصد أقل من مسيرة سفر تتم، هو الصحيح
