Mufti. Please can you advise me. I stay in umzinto. When i travel to Durban, I am NOT Musaafir which I know. But if i go till gateway umhlanga I am Musaafir because of the distance. My question is what happens if i decide I am going to Durban and whilst I am in Durban later on during the day I decide to go to gateway umhlanga. Am I then Musaafir even though I had no intention of going to umhlanga whilst I was in umzinto? My reason I am asking is that I heard from someone else that if I decide to go to Durban and later during the day whilst in Durban I decide to go to umhlanga its a new trip and I am not Musaafir.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> In principle, a person who intends to travel a distance of 78 kilometers or more is categorized as a <em>Musaafir <\/em>(traveler) and all the laws of a <em>Musaafir <\/em>(traveler) will apply.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, in the enquired situation, if you intended to travel from your destination i.e. <strong>Umzinto to Umhlanga<\/strong> which is more than 78 kilometers<strong>, you would be <\/strong><strong>categorized as a <em>Musaafir <\/em>(traveler)<\/strong> and all the laws of a <em>Musaafir <\/em>(traveler) will apply.
