SHAFAQNA – The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei answered a question about fasting in places where Salaat can be performed in full or Qasr.
Question: In four places of Masjidul Haram, Masjidu Nabi, boundaries of Imam Hussain’s shrine, and Masijidul Kuffah where Salaat can be performed in full or Qasr; if a person stays for less than ten days; is it allowed to fast without having the intention of staying for ten days?
The Grand Ayatollah Khamenei: The decree for (being able to pray in full or Qasr) in the four places (mentioned) is special to Salaat. And the fasting of the traveller, who has no intention of staying for ten days, is not correct.
