Musaafir extending the duration of his stay

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I travelled from Durban to Estcourt with the intention of staying 5 days. Today is it the fourth day. However, now I wish to stay another 12 days here in Estcourt. Am I a musafir here in Estcourt?

Bismillaah

A: You will be a musafir. 

ولو دخل مصرا على عزم أن يخرج غدا أو بعد غد ولم ينو مدة الإقامة حتى بقي على ذلك سنين قصر لأن ابن عمر رضي الله عنه أقام بأذربيجان ستة أشهر وكان يقصر وعن جماعة من الصحابة رضي الله عنهم مثل ذلك (الهداية 1/ 166)
