Assalamu alaykum
I travelled to Iraq for ziyarat (alhamdulila) from 28 November arriving in the late afternoon to 5 December 2025. We moved around from Baghdad (1 day) to Karbala to Najaf, not staying more than 3 days at each region.
Then I extended my stay from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 December where I travelled from Najaf on the Friday to Baghdad until Monday 4am where I travelled to another country, however I did not make the intention to stay for 10 days in one place.
My first question is the intention to stay 10 days refer to a region or country? That was unclear to me.
The other question is as I prayed qasr in Baghdad, do I need to redo those prayers (dhuhr, asr and ishaa) as complete prayers?
Jazakulla

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
We hope this answer finds you in high Islamic spirit.
Staying for 10 days is meant for one city or town, not an entire country. According to your explanation, all your prayers would be qasr, and you do not need to repeat them.
