Safar

Q: If while traveling, I performed a Salaah without shortening it, is the Salaah valid? Am I in any way sinful? For example, I performed four rakaats for Isha instead of two rakaats, while traveling.

Q: If you travelling for Umrah and spend 7 days in Madinah and 7 days in Makkah are you a Musafir? Do you perform qasr salaat when on route and

Q:

1. Does one start performing Qasr Salah once they leave their home intending to travel more than 48 miles even though they may not have left the boundary of their city or town?
2. Suppose one is at the airport in one's own city intending to fly abroad. Would such a person perform Qasr Salah?
3. If Qasr Salah can only be performed outside the boundary of the city, how does one work out what the boundary of the city is?
4. Is the 48 miles limit from door-to-door or from one city boundary to another city's boundary. If it is from one city's boundary to another city's boundary how does one go about ascertaining city boundaries?
5. To become a musafir is it once 48 miles is reached or does it have to be more than 48 miles?

Q: My brother is currently in India and had intended to be there for three weeks. His whole time will be spent in Mumbai only and will not travel
anywhere else. He has been there for the past week and has been performing qasr. He realised today that he will be staying for more then 15 days and therefore is not entitled for qasr. What should he do for the salaat of the past week that he performed as qasr whereas he was not supposed to?

Q: My question is regarding a woman in haidh. If a woman is in haidh and she is going to travel, will the conditions of salaah apply to her? When she reaches her destination, and she becomes tahirah, will she read qasr salaah or she will first have to travel a safr distance from there in order to read qasr or will she have to count the number of days she will be staying there from the day she becomes pure inorder to read qasr? Kindly send me the reference as well.
