I am in a mutah marriage and I regularly visit my husband. He lives more than 28 miles away so I am considered a traveler and the rules of qasr and fasting apply to me. However I consider this to be my home as it his own flat, I visit regularly and I will be living here once permanently married. As this is the case are my fasts valid for me to keep and does it matter if I am here for less than 10 days even though I consider this to be my home?

Except for the first month of stay during which time the person must perform both full and shortened prayers and fast the month of Ramadan and make up those fasts based on obligatory precaution if one of the following criteria related to their stay in that place applies:
