Regarding individuals who sell during Hajj but are not pilgrims:
- If they are residents of Mecca or its vicinity, they are not permitted to shorten their prayers (qasr). - If they arrived from a distance greater than the qasr distance and intended to stay for four days or more, they are not permitted to shorten their prayers. - If they intended to stay for less than four days, they are considered travelers and are permitted to shorten their prayers before returning to their home countries.
