Safar

Q: We are going for Umrah. What will be the method to pray there... Can I Pray complete namaz or we can pray qasar namaz during our staying there?

Q: I'm little confused regarding salah which we performed during our stay in Makkah and hajj. We followed one book which had mentioned that your stay in Makkah, if less than 15 days then you should perform qasar salah. Also during hajj days if your stay till 7th Zil haj is less than 15 days you need to do qasar in hajj.

1. We started from India on 4th Aug 4pm and reached our hotel on 5th 00:30. As per booking, we calculated our stay as 14 days (5 to 18) and we had intention that on 18th night or 19th morning we will leave for Mina. We left Mina 19th morning 03:00am. We offered qasar all in Makkah and during haj. Is it correct?

2. How are 15 days calculated. Is it 24 hours *15 days?

3. If some musafir prays alone and recites all 4 rakats and after 2 days remembers he is musafir and then corrects his salah to 2 rakats. What is ruling on it?

Q: I went to Makkah Muazzama for hajj on 12 August, and stayed there till 30 August.

I depart from London and have a layover in Karachi. I am in Karachi for one day before leaving for South Africa. While I am in Karachi, even if it is for a couple of hours, will I pray qasr or full?

Q: A person lives in Isipingo Beach and has been living in Isipingo for more than 20 years. He has a house and owns and runs two businesses in Ispingo. He still lives and works in Ispingo Beach for most of the year. This person bought a flat in Surat, in a street where his grandfather used to live, and passed away many many years ago. He goes to the flat once every few months and his period of stay in Surat varies from less than 14 days upto 20 days. When he is not in Surat, he gives out the flat on rent to people from South Africa who go to Surat for holiday or medical treatment. When he purchased the flat he made intention that due to it being in the area where his ancestors used to live, this will also be his house.

1. Will Surat become his وطن اصلي while Ispingo Beach remains his وطن اصلي? Thus he will have 2 وطن اصلي and he will never be a musafir when he goes to Surat.

2. Can he read full Salaah in Surat if he is only staying there for 10 days in that particular journey, because he has an intention to return to Surat for another week or two after three months and this is the home town of his ancestors (including grandparents).
