Question:

I went to Dubai for 1 and a ½ weeks on holiday.  I live in Birmingham but landed in London Heathrow.  I am not sure if I had to pray full four rakats of Zuhr at London Heathrow airport or do I still pray like a traveller and pray half?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, until a person does not reach his home city, he will be a traveller and will keep performing qasr (shortening the prayers) when performing salāh.  Therefore, at London Heathrow Airport you should carry on performing the prayer as a traveller and only perform two rak’ats of zuhr.  Once you enter the city of Birmingham, you should complete salāh as normal.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
