Prayer: What’s the rule for making large cities a watan or staying there 10 days?

English:

Question #703:

What is your opinion concerning large cities with respect to the conditions of the intention of making them a watan or of staying there for ten days?

Answer #703:

There is no difference between a large city and an ordinary one in respect of the traveler’s rules and the intention to make a place as one’s watan or to stay for ten days. On making the intention to take a large city as one’s watan and prepare for living requirements in it or staying there for a period, the watan’s rule will apply to the whole city. Similarly, if one makes the intention to stay in such a city for ten days, the ruling of offering full prayers applies for him in all its quarters, whether he chooses a special quarter of it to live or stay or not.
