The legal journey that entails shortening prayers (qasr) and the dropping of Friday prayer is a journey of approximately eighty kilometers. So, whoever moves from his village a short distance is not considered a traveler, and Friday prayer is obligatory upon him, but he is not counted among the number by which Friday prayer is established; thus, he is not part of the quorum required for its establishment.
