Will one be a musaafir when visiting one's parents who live safar distance from one's place of residence?
Question
I stay in Durban but my parents stay in Newcastle. Every school holiday I go to visit them for about 2 weeks. Will I be considered a musafir when I am in Newcastle?
Answer
Yes, if it is not your residence, rather it is just your parents' home.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
