Q: Can a young woman with a small breast feeding child travel for a long distance alone with her father in-law?

Q: In beheshti zewar, in the chapter of salaah on a journey, mention is made that if the azaan from one place cannot be heard in another place, then they are regarded as two places, for the purpose of the musafir if he spends 10 days in each place, he would still be a musafir. Does this still apply today when determining where are boundaries? Or does one look at the municipal boundaries between suburbs and localities?

Q: I am required to travel to work over 150 km a day monday to friday for two months. I have no intention of staying at that location. Am I considered a musaafir and what is the ruling for jummah. The masjids are extremely far from work approximatly 35km as I am based at a construction site. If I am a musaafir, is it incorrect to read the full salaah?

Q: If a person is a musaafir, eg on jamaat

1) If moving from masjid to masjid in one locality, and will stay in that locality for more than 15 days, does he become muqeem?

2) If he continuously leaves out the sunnats whilst a musafir, eg whilst on jamaat, I know this is not correct, but does he become a sinner?

Q: I've heard that a woman who leaves from her home in a state of haidh and then becomes paak at her travel destination does not perform half the amount of rakaats but performs the normal amount. May I please have the reference for this.

Q: I intend travelling from my home town to Johannesburg. I will stay for four days then leave for Pietermaritzburg where I will stay for 7 days then I will go to Durban for 6 days. I will leave my home town in the state of haidh. If I calculate my cycle, I should take a ghusal in Pietermaritzburg so I will read my Salaah in full. However once I leave for Durban, then will I read qasr or salaah in full as I don't think the distance from Pietermaritzburg to Durban is 77.7km. When I leave Durban I will go back to Pietermaritzburg and then to Johannesburg. Will I read qasr in Johannesburg? Please advise.
