Website of the Office of Grand Ayatullah Saanei :: The Ten-Day Intention

The Ten-Day Intention

Issue 642: If a traveler who has decided to stay in a place for ten days stays there longer, they must offer complete prayers as long as they have not left that place on a journey, and they do not need to make a new intention for another ten-day stay.

Issue 643: If a traveler who has intended to stay in a place for ten days abandons the idea, they must act as follows:

A- If they abandon the intention before offering a four-Rak'at prayer, they must offer reduced prayers.

B- If they abandon the intention after offering a four-Rak'at prayer, they must offer complete prayers as long as they stay there.

Q644: What is the case of the prayers of a person, who travels to another city for a twenty-day mission and knows that this mission will be extended if they offer complete prayers from the beginning and they have no idea whether they would stay there longer after the extension?

A: To offer complete prayers, the criterion is to make sure of staying for ten days or more, and as a person makes sure of that, they must offer complete prayers.

Q645: A person has intended to stay in a place for five days, but as they get there, they forget their intention and decide to stay there for ten days. Is this latter decision (or intention) valid?

A: Yes, the intention is valid, because the person has made it since they got there.

Q646: A person intends to stay in a place for ten days, but once he decides to have a journey out of that place which is more than four leagues. Does the journey invalidate the intention for the ten-day stay?

A: If the journey is shorter than four leagues, it does not invalidate the intention, but if they are going to stay out of a place even for one night, their intention for the ten-day stay in that place will not be valid.
