Will the First Watn Iqaamah be Nulified when the Second Watn lqaamah is Nearer than the Distance of Safar

Q: Salaah-494: My hometown is Surat, but I spend the year studying in Deoband. I then spend all of Ramadhaan in Saharanpur in the company of Hadhrat Sheikh (DAMAT BARKATAHU) I then return to Deoband on the first of Shawwaal, where to stay for two to three days before departing for Surat. Should I perform Qasr salaah in Deoband upon return or need I perform the salaah in full? The reason for asking is to know whether it is necessary for one to travel the distance of Safar before one Watn Iqaantah can be nullfied by another.

NB. The distance between Deoband and Sahaaranpur is not equal to that of Safar.

Answer: A Watn lqaamah will be nullified by another regardless of whether the distance travelled between the two is that of Safar or not. You will therefore be a Musaafir when you return to Deoband for a few days before departing for Surat. Deoband will cease to be your Watn lqaamah as soon as you leave for Sahaaranpur.
