Sunnah and Nafl Salaah on a Journey

Q: Should I perform my sunnat muakkadah and wajib with qasr salaah while I am travelling or not?

Q: If a person is on jamaat, and is a musafir technically but once reaches e.g. Cape Town just travelling from masjid to masjid not very lengthy distances, then will he be sinful for leaving out sunnah muakkadah 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: When you go for umrah do you read your sunnah Salaahs in the haraam?

Q:

1) Whilst on Safar, are the four sunnats also reduced to two rakaats or does that rule only apply to the four fardh?

2) Whilst on Safar, is the 2 sunnah of Fajr compulsory and will one be considered sinful if they omit it?

3) If a person joins the Jamaat late and misses 3 rakaats in 4 rakaat fardh, they will stand up after the Imam makes Salaam, read 1 rakaat and sit for Tashahud again before performing the other 2 rakaats. Kindly explain which rakaats the Surah should be recited and which rakaats it should be omitted?

Q: I read in one narration that the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) would not read sunnats after Salaah while on a journey. So should we only read fard and sunnah of fajr and Witr? Is this correct?

Q: I work in a hospital, Peterborough, UK as a medical consultant physician which 58 miles away from my house, Nottingham. I stay in hospital accommodation for 5 nights and I return to Nottingham for 2 night. Whilst in Peterborough I do attend the salah in jamaat in the local masjid, Peterborough for Fajr, Asr, Magrib and Isha.

1. With regards to sunaah and wajib do I have to do full as a mukim?

Besides, during zohr prayer I cannot go to the masjid but I do salah al Qasr if other people are not around in the hospital prayer room. I recently come across a hadith in Arba'een of Imam Nawawi RA that if a person is punctual with four sunnats of zuhr and two thereafter, Allaah will make hell forbidden for him. I just feel that I am missing this great blessing if I do salah al Qasr during zohr time.

2. In light the above, can I perform four sunnats of zuhr and two thereafter, in order to derive the above benefit? Mufti Sahib I would appreciate if you could give a comprehensive fatwaa.

Q: We understand that when a person undertakes a journey for a distance of more than 48 Miles/77 km from his city of residence, he is required to offer only 2 Rakaahs of Fard Salaah, if offered alone, up to 19 days of his stay in another city, as confirmed in Sahih Hadith. But, for those who regularly offer Tahajjud Salaah, should they continue offering Tahajjud Salaah for those 19 days while they are in a state of journey to another city? Or is there an exception for them. Please clarify.

Q: I performed isha whilst being a traveller but I returned home before fajr time. Will it be ok for me to perform 2 rakaats isha followed by 3 witr (and skip the sunnats since they are not emphasized then), or must I since I know that I will return home before fajr also pray the sunnats (either whilst on the journey or when coming home)?

Q: When one is travelling (i.e. a Musaafir), I understand that the Farz of Zuhr, Asr and Esha is reduced to 2 Rakaats. Does one have concession to omit the Sunnat Rakaats, meaning that for Zuhr does one read 4 Sunnat, 2 Farz, 2 Sunnat or should one just read 2 Farz of Zuhr?
