Musaafir changing his intention

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My question is regarding a musaafir:

A person left Verulam with the intention of going to Pietermaritzburg (this is safr distance). On his way, he stops in Chatsworth and changes his mind and says that he is going back home so he reads 4 rakaats asr in Chatsworth as he was told that he is no more a musaafir. Is this correct? When does he become a muqeem and does he have to repeat his asr salaah?

Bismillaah

A: It is correct. He will read 4 rakaats.

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