qasar

Performing qasar salaah while studying safar distance away from home

Q: I am from Peshawar and I am an employee here in Islamabad. I used to come to my office every Monday and go home every Friday. I live here in a hostel for 4 nights every week for the last 1 and half years but I have never stayed for more then 10 days here in my hostel continously. How should I perform my namaaz? Do I have to read qasr or full namaaz? 

Reading qasr salaah at home

Q: I am staying in a hostel and doing my 1st year college. When I come home for the weekend, I offer salaah as a musaafir by offering 2 rakaats zuhr, 2 rakaats asr, 3 rakaats maghrib and 2 rakaats isha. My house is 177 km away from the hostel. Is it right? How many km should it be for me to be a musaafir?

Qasar Salaah

Q: I was born in Jeddah. I have been living in Riyadh for almost 13 years. A little while ago, my family and I decided to visit Medinah, then after 13 days of visiting Medinah, we would visit Makkah. We live in a home provided to us by the hospital (as my father is a doctor) for over 9 years. Now, in 7 days' time, we will visit Makkah insha'Allah. The question is, during this period of time, so we have to offer Qassr prayer or normal 4 rakahs of prayer?
