Qasar salaah during hajj

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Questions related to qasar salaah during Haj:

1. As per hanafi mazhab, if a person stays for 15 days or more in Makkah before leaving for Mina, Arafat, etc, he should perform full salah in Makkah, Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifa and back in Makkah. Is my understanding correct?

2. Once we leave our city boundaries, we will offer qasar salaah until we reach our destination. After reaching our destination we should calculate the number of days that we stay. Is this correct?

3. Should the 15 day calculation start when we start from home or once we reach our destination?

4. We had a total of 40 days stay. Aug 4th we started from home, reached Makkah on 5th around 00:00. 5th to 18th we were in Makkah. 19th before fajr we were in Mina. 19-23 were Haj days. 24th Aug to 4th Sep back in Makkah. 5th to 14th Sep in Madina. Performing Qasar is correct in all places?

Bismillaah

3. Once you reach your destination.
