Breaking up the journey when intending safr distance
Question
If I am going from my home to the next place which is 40 kms and will be staying there for 2 days and thereafter to the next destination which is 200 kms away and staying there for 3 days. I then come back home.
Do I make the intentions for Musaafir when I leave home and pray qasr from the time I leave home.
Answer
You will be musaafir once you commence your journey and you will perform qasr salaah throughout your journey (i.e. you will perform qasr salaah at the first and second destination).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
