Menstruating women undertaking a journey
Question:-
Will a Haaidha who becomes clean on holiday, read full Salaah, or Qasr salaah?
If she travels 78km or more visiting different suburbs etc. then returns to the same hotel, will she read full Salaah or Qasr?
If she travels more than 78km to a different town and then stays there for a few days, will she read full Salaah or Qasr?
Answer:-
-
If the Haa’idha becomes clean at her holiday destination, then she will perform full Salaah.
-
If she travels for 78 kilometres or more from her holiday destination and thereafter returns to her holiday destination, then she will have to determine whether she will be staying there for a period of 15 days or more. If she intends staying there for 15 days or more (after returning from her journey of 78 kilometres or more), then she will perform her Salaah in full. However, if she will be staying there for less than 15 days, then she will make Qasr (perform 2 Rakaats for Zuhr, Asr and Esha).

لأنه لم يزل على حكم السفر (اللباب في شرح الكتاب – باب صلاة المسافر)
-
If she travelled Safr distance (78 kilometres or more) to another town, then she will make Qasr (perform 2 Rakaats as explained above), if she will be staying there for less than 15 days. If she stays there for more than 15 days then she will perform her Salaah in full.
وَلَا يَزَالُ عَلَى حُكْمِ السَّفَرِ حَتَّى يَنْوِيَ الْإِقَامَةَ فِي بَلْدَةٍ أَوْ قَرْيَةٍ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ، وَإِنْ نَوَى أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَصَرَ (العناية ص34 ج2)
ALLAH TA’ALA KNOWS BEST!
