Do you do qasr if travelling less than 48 miles between cities?

Salam,

If a person is travelling from one city to another city, but the distance is less than 48 miles, then does that person do qasr or not?

Answer
A Musafir (traveller) is a person who travels more than Shar’ee distance. In the above case, the distance travelled is less than the Shar’ee distance. Whether you have crossed a town or even multiple cities, if the distance is less, then Qasr will not be permissible.

The Shar’ee distance is approximately 48 miles.
