Prayer: What are the prayer and fasting rules for me (on temporary work in Bandar Abbas) and my wife (a housewife from Tehran) during our stay and possible missions?
English:
Question #667:
I was born in the city of Kashmar and I lived in Tehran from 1966 to 1990 and I chose it as my hometown. Three years ago, I came to Bandar Abbas with my family for an administrative mission. In less than a year, I will return to Tehran, which is my hometown. Considering that during the time I am in Bandar Abbas, it is possible at any moment for me to go on a mission to other cities and stay there for a while. The time of these administrative missions cannot be predicted, please first: Tell me the rules on my prayer and fasting.
Second: What are the rules on my wife’s prayer and fasting? She is a housewife, was born in Tehran, and came with me to Bandar Abbass.
Answer #667:
In the given case, you are not ruled as a traveler there and your prayer and that of your wife are complete and your fasts are valid.
