Qassr or 4 Rakahs: Praying in Makkah during a Short Visit

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I was born in Jeddah. I have been living in Riyadh for almost 13 years. A little while ago, my family and I decided to visit Medinah, then after 13 days of visiting Medinah, we would visit Makkah. We live in a home provided to us by the hospital (as my father is a doctor) for over 9 years. Now, in 7 days’ time, we will visit Makkah insha’Allah. The question is, during this period of time, so we have to offer Qassr prayer or normal 4 rakahs of prayer?

Bismillaah

A: You will perform qasar Salaah.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
