Question:
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
A sister recently got married. She has not permanently moved to her husband’s place as she has a placement to complete.
She will be staying at her parents for the next 6 months or so, and will stay at her husband’s for the weekend (2 days)
Would this mean the wife will be praying traveller’s prayer when she’s at her husband’s place until she has permanent residence there?

Answer:
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

May Allaah Ta’aala bless her marriage with love, happiness and unity.

Is the distance between the two safar distance? If so, then she will make qasr of the applicable salaahs when visiting her husband’s place until she moves in. She is only visiting her husband for now. This is with mutual understanding between the couple. She is not subject to the laws of safar and iqaamah applicable to her husband in the enquired situation.

And Allaah Ta’aala knows best.
