Prayer: Can one intend a 10-day stay while planning short trips under the shar‘ī distance?
English:
Question #663:
When one intends to be in a place for ten days, is it permissible to have in mind to leave it for another place of less than shar‘ī distance?
Answer #663:
The intention of leaving does not harm the intention of staying for ten days if the intention of leaving the place of ten-day-stay for less than the shar‘ī distance, does not contradict his staying there for ten days, like to intend to leave this place during this ten-day period - for less than the shar‘ī distance, 2-3 times for half of a day each time - and return to it.
