Answer:
(Fatwa: 1204/1013=B-1429)
In the journey mentionedabove, since you did not stay in any city 15 days or more; therefore you will be msuafir as per the Shariah and you will have to perform qasr salah. However, if one intends to stay for 15 days or more in a city, he, as per the Shariah, willbe regarded muqeem and will have to perform full salah:
صلي الفرض الرباعي ركعتين حتي يدخل موضع مقامه أو ينوي إقامه نصف شهر (الشامي)
