Sound system malfunctioning during the fardh salaah

Q: Some people were reading salah in the main hall and others outside the hall. The microphone got cut half way through, such that the people outside the hall couldn't hear the imaam or see him. There was also no one to call out the takbeer. What is the ruling in this case? 

1. Is the salaah valid for those outside despite the mic being off throughout the rest of the salaah? 

2. Some people broke their salaah and some carried on. Is their salaah valid? 

3. If the mic was to start working again, then can the people outside carry on and catch up to the imaam?

Father correcting the son for missing salaah in the musjid

Q: On one occasion I missed Salah in the masjid. In this case I read it at home. I understand this is not ideal however if my father comes to find out about this he claims that I have a shaytaan in me. This is understandably upsetting to me. 

1. Is it okay from a Islamic perspective for him to say this to me? 

2. If so, what purpose does it serve?

Woman travelling to her parent's house and other places thereafter

Q: 

1. A woman travels unaccompanied from her house to get to her mother's house (25km away) then travels to another area (56km away from her mother's house and about 31km from her house) for a total of 81km on the same day. She passes the locality her house is in on the way without entering it (her house is about 1km from the highway). Has she travelled safr distance? 

2. If the total distance to the third area is less than safr distance (for example 60km) and she then travels back to her mother's house and then the total is safr distance, would she be considered to have travelled safr distance? 

3. If when leaving her house to go to her mother's house she didn't know she would travel further, would it still count as safr distance? 

4. If she is staying at her mother's house for some time, is she allowed to travel distances around her mother's house if it eventually adds up to safr distance? How long would she have to be staying at her mother's house for this to be allowed, if Mufti Sahib can provide a detailed answer on how this works.
