Qasar Salaah and Full Salaah

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?

How to determine the boundaries of a locality

Q: In beheshti zewar, in the chapter of salaah on a journey, mention is made that if the azaan from one place cannot be heard in another place, then they are regarded as two places, for the purpose of the musafir if he spends 10 days in each place, he would still be a musafir. Does this still apply today when determining where are boundaries? Or does one look at the municipal boundaries between suburbs and localities?
