It is both.
If you say sodium chloride is soluble in water then it is qualitative.
If you say the solubility of sodium chloride is x g/l then it is quantitative.

It is both. Let me explain why.
When something is quantitative that means you can measure something. Here you can measure the grams of solute (the thing you dissolve) into the grams of solvent (the liquid you dissolve in) at a measured temperature and atmospheric pressure. Four measurements are involved.
It is also qualitative. That means you can make a quick observation without any meansurements. You can see that salt dissolves in water easily but cremora (power creamer for coffee) does not easily dissolve in room temperature water. You can say that salt is MORE soluble than cremora although you don't have a measurement that tells you exactly how much more.

Both....if it disolves or not in a solvent (polar or non-polar) is a qualitative measure.
The amount that dissolves, if it does, is a quantitative measure. Remember, anything you can put a number to is a quantitative measure.

Solubility is the amount of a solute that will dissolve in a specific solvent under given conditions. The dissolved substance is called the solute and the dissolving fluid (usually present in excess) is called the solvent, which together form a solution. The process of dissolving is called solvation, or hydration if the solvent is water.

If u specify the amount its quantitative, otherwise qualitative.
