    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 2696/H=1084/th=1431)

    If Mumbai and Delhi is not your homeland, rather your brother lives there then in this case, if you stay for four or five days in Mumbai or Delhi, you will not be muqim, as long as you do not intend to stay there for fifteen days or more, you shall remain musafir. You will do qasr when you will offer salah alone or behind a musafir imam.
