Q: I permanently work and reside in Sydney, Australia with family while not owning any property here. My parents live in Lahore, Pakistan in a house under their ownership whereas I own a residential plot in Islamabad, Pakistan.
I'd like to know if I am travelling and staying at any of the above three locations under 14 days, where should I offer full prayers and where would qasr prayer be required?
A: If you regard Sydney as your hometown as you and your family are permanently residing here, then Islamabad will not be regarded as your hometown even though you own a property there. Similarly, your parents' home in Lahore will also not be regarded as your hometown. Hence, when you travel to both these places, you will be considered a musaafir if you stay for less than 15 days.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
