Determining The Number of Safr (Travel) Days
Question
I left Durban at about 8am on Thursday the 12 March – when would the 15th day be?
Answer
One day and night is 24 hours, i.e. from 8:00 am to 8:00 am the next day would be regarded as one day and night. Therefore fifteen days would be completed on the 27th of March at 8:00 am.
