Safar

Q: Is it allowed to have 2 watan iqamah at one time?

Does leaving my “watan iqamah”, make my watan iqamah no longer my watan iqamah?

(Does traveling from my watan iqamah make my watan iqamah batil)?

For example - London is my watan iqamah (I’m staying there with intention of 2 years), if I travel to Rome from London, and then I have a flight to Dubai from Rome with a 1 day layover in London. When I’m in London for 1 day, will I pray full or qasr? Basically, when I left my watan iqamah for a few days, will that make my watan iqama null and void? Even if I plan on coming back to it after some time?

Q: If a woman becomes paak at home but takes her ghusal when she reaches her destination which will make her a musafir. Will she perform full salaah or qasr?

Q: 4 burd =16 farsakh; 1 farsakh = 3 miles, four burd = 16 x 3 = 48 miles. So 1 burd = 4 Farsakh.

What is one kilometre in miles? (1 kilometre = ? Miles). What is one mile in kilometres? (1 miles = ? Kilometre).

Q: I travelled musaafir distance to one town and had a niyyah to stay for seven days. After seven days I decided to stay another 9 days. Will I be a musafir because my intention was to stay for only 7 days. Now my new intention is 9 days which is less than 15 days.

Q: I go to work by road for 70 km and then by helicopter for 45 min. Sometime I go for seven days (return date is confirmed) and sometimes my return date is not confirmed and depends on the completion of the job. Please tell if I have to pray full prayers?

Q: If a woman gets her period after 11 days and she is traveling, does she have to read Salaah?

Q: I’m currently in my haidh and travelling overseas in 2 days. I’ll be moving from city to city so I would like to know after I have my ghusl, will I perform full salah throughout my trip or not?

Q: I returned home from a 7 day holiday in Durban. The time for Asr set in while I was driving. I reached home 45 mins before Magrib and prayed Asr 4 rakaats.

Should I have read Asr as a Musafir or full Salaah? What are the rules regarding Musafir when returning from a journey for a Salaah that has set in but only read when at home?

Q: I want to know if I will read qasr salaah if I don't know how long I will be on holiday for? Most probably it will be for more than 15 days but I'm not sure of the exact date when I will be returning home.

Q: My question is related to Salaah and flying by air.

Sometime ago we flew from Australia to Canada. We set out at around 7.00 am on Tuesday, and we reached at around 7.15 am Tuesday, on the same date. The flight was 17 hours, and in this time we didn't read any Salaah. In fact, the next Salaah we read was Dhuhr almost 24 hours later. Is this correct?

However, when we were returning to Australia, we lost a day, so basically a whole day's worth of Salaah became qadha. We jumped a whole day, or we lost a whole day, when we were crossing the international date line. How does this work? How do we calculate Salaah in these situations? Were we supposed to read any Salaah on the way to Canada keeping in mind the Hadith about after Dajjaal comes one day will be equal to a year, and so forth. Hence Salaah would have been calculated according to its normal time, as Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Salam had advised his Sahaabah?
