Safar

Safar distance

Q: Maulana Fazlur Rahman Azmi Sahab of Madrasah Arabia Islamia, Azaadville, South Africa writes in his book: "A person becomes a musafir by travelling 54 english miles not 48 miles. Is this correct because I was told a person becomes a musafir by travelling 48 English miles?

Safar question

Q: I work in Fort McMurray, Alberta and my home city is Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The road distance from Fort McMurray to Calgary is around 700KM and flight duration is little over an hour. I work for 10 days and then take 4 days off. In this condition, would my Salaah be qasar at Fort McMurray and full while I am at home for 4 days?
