Question: Will a married lady, living with her husband, read Qasr Salaah (shortened Salaah due to travel) when she visits her parents ?

Answer: If a married lady intends to visit her parents, for less than fifteen days, and her parents live in a town that is 78 kilometers (or more), away from her town of residence with her husband; then yes, she will make Qasr Salaah, by her parents' home.

The reason for this is: when a lady begins to stay with her husband, the town where she is residing with husband, becomes her new 'hometown'. Her parents' town of residence will no longer be her hometown. (Fatawaa Mahmudiyya Vol 7: Page 501)
