the hadeeth says three days. She wil only be travelling less than a day. She will not be considered as a traveller once she takes residence in dubai. In hanafi fiqh you wouldnt be considered a traveller if you went to dubai to live for a year, and you wouldnt take the hukms that apply to a traveller.

And Allah knows best

Despite the journey being less than a day she will still be classed as a traveller (musafir). I believe this hadith is an indication of distance and not time.

This is why our ulema state that a person becomes a traveller once they have covered a distance that a person walking would have in 3 days.
I believe it is based on an average day, average conditions and of average fitness. This is how the commonly quoted 48 miles is calculated. This figure is actually quite recent and through history it has differed. Also traditionally 'shariah' miles have been quoted but this distance is not the same as the 'mile' we are accustomed to.
Some ulema from England based on their own research and calculations have even suggested that the figure should be close to the 36 mile mark.

I hope that the ulema on this forum will explain this in detail and correct the mistakes that I have surely made.

And Allah knows best.
