Traveling from a Place of Residency After Prayer

Question

A question about the status of prayer after traveling from a place of residency.

Answer 1

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.

Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):

If a person has been in one place for thirty days and then travels a legal distance on the fortieth day, upon returning to that place, they must start counting anew, regardless of whether they completed the thirty days or prayed in full after that period.

May you be successful in all good.
