musaafir

Masaafat-e-safar

س: میں  گجران والا میں رہتا ہوں  اور ان دنوں میں اسلام آباد  میں کام کر رہاہوں .ہر ہفتہ  کے چھٹی کے دنوں میں میرے گھر گجران والا جاتا ہوں .میرا سوال یہ ہے کہ مجھے قصر نماز کہاں ادا کرنی چاہئےاور میرے مسئلہ میں کیا حکم ہے قصر نمازکے لئے؟

From which point should safar distance be calculated

Q: I have a question regarding qasr.

The distance between Pietermaritzburg and Durban is 77 km which is not qasr distance. I’ve heard a few people saying that if you continue traveling around the area e.g. to North Beach or Westville then you should start reading qasr salah. Is this correct? If it is, then would you still be regarded as a musaafir if you spend nearly every weekend in Durban?

Will a person qualify as a musaafir if he travels safar distance weekly from his home town?

Q: From last four years, every week Monday I travel from my native town to 150 KM for work (working in IT company) and I stay there till Friday evening, I stay with my friends in a rental house, then I return to my native town by Friday night, and I stay in my native town till Monday morning. My question is that while I stay in my working area (i.e. Monday morning to Friday evening) whether I have to shorten my prayer or I have to pray regularly (i.e. four rakaats)?
