Salat Qasr

Before searching for the hadiths, we took Shaykh al-Wahid al-Khorasani’s explanation (tawzīḥ) as our foundation. The narrations cited here are presented as supporting evidence for his fatwās. They are not intended to limit or exhaust his reasoning, as he may have relied on a broader set of traditions. What matters is that these hadiths clearly align with the fatwā, giving reassurance and confidence in its ruling. This approach is not about Usūlī versus Akhbārī perspectives; it is about following the guidance of the Masumeen (peace be upon them) with yaqīn, ensuring correctness in practice.

According to Shaykh Wahid al-Khorasani(hafizullah), A traveler has the option of offering his prayer conventionally or offering it as qasr in the following places:
1. The old Mecca (which extends from Aqaba until dhu al-ÔuwÁ)
2. Medina of the Prophet’s (Peace be upon him and his progeny) time
3. Kufa
4. The shrine of Imam al-Husayn (Peace be upon him)

Imam al-Sadeq(as) says:
"Among the preserved knowledge of Allah is completing the prayer in four sacred places: the sanctuary of Allah, the sanctuary of His Messenger (peace be upon him and his family), the sanctuary of the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him), and the sanctuary of Husayn ibn Ali (peace be upon him)."
