Returning Midway though a Journey

Q: Salaah-122: I left on a journey. but returned before completing a distance of three Manaazil. Should I perform Qasr during such a journey?

Answer: Qasr should not be made because when returning before travelling three Manaazil, you will not remain a Musaafir. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
