Summary
For a journey beyond two marhalah (81 kilometres), jamak and qasar may be performed once a person leaves the boundary of their mosque's locality or passes 11 kilometres from home, without waiting a day after setting out. If staying in a place for less than four days (excluding arrival and return days), jamak and qasar may be done throughout, including the stay. If staying four days or more, they may only be done on the outward and return journeys. A prayer unintentionally missed while travelling may be made up as qasar in the same or another journey, but once resident it must be made up in full four rakaat, and prayers missed while resident are made up in full.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat yang ditinggalkan semasa dalam perjalanan atas sebab-sebab yang tidak dapat dielakkan (tidak disengajakan), boleh diqada secara qasar dalam musafir yang sama atau musafir yang lain.
