Safar

Q: I would like to know if a ma'zoor (not a mustahaaza) will become a musaafir by travelling for 77 kilometres.

Q:

1. If someone intends traveling to a place more than 55 miles (i.e. 88 km) from his hometown but intends staying at his destination for more than 15 days, will he do qasr while traveling to that place?

2. If a person intends going to a place more than 55 miles (i.e. 88 km) from his hometown. After reaching he intends to stay for 15 days. Later on he changes his mind and intends to stay for 2 days. Will he be musafir or muqeem?

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: Most of the time I am out of my home town more than 100kms. When I am back home for 10 days, in this 10 days I must make my namaz qasar or the normal namaaz?

Q:

1. If a Muqeem reads Salah behind a Musafir does he have to make intention for praying behind a Musafir?

2. If he makes intention of praying behind a Musafir whereas the Imam is a Muqeem, does he have to repeat the Salah?

3. What happens if a person reads a Surah in the 3rd Rakat of a Fardh Salah? Does it have to be repeated?

4. If two people read Salaah and the Musalli does not have Wudhu does the Imam have to repeat his Salah?

5. If two people are reading Salah and the Musalli by mistake makes intention of reading another Salah does the Imam have to repeat the Salaah?

6. If a person has missed a Salah whilst travelling and does Qadha at home does he have to read 2 or 4 Rakats?

Q: When traveling for 2 nights and you pray as a musafir then you realise that your staying longer than 16 days. Do you have repeat the namaaz you missed during the first two days?

Q: I would like to know the usool/adaab when travelling in a group and stop for salaah at a musjid where the salaah is almost finished. All the brothers in the group have wudhu but one brother doesn't have wudhu. Should all the brothers with wudhu join the jamaat leaving the one brother to miss salaah with jamaat, or should all wait for the brother making wudhu and perform another jamaat, or should most join the main jamaat and a few wait for the brother making wudhu and make another jamaat?

Q: A person travels to a place that is safar distance and intends staying there for 10 days. After 8 days the person changes his intention and intends staying for another 8 days. Will the person read full namaaz or will he be a musaafir? What about the salaah that was performed in the first 8 days? Will he have to repeat the Salaah?

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: If while traveling, I performed a Salaah without shortening it, is the Salaah valid? Am I in any way sinful? For example, I performed four rakaats for Isha instead of two rakaats, while traveling.
