Safar

Q: Can I travel to Dubai with my brother to visit my parents if my husband does not allow me for it?

Q: I have travelled the musaafir distance to a major city with many suburbs within it, and I will be residing in this city for two months. However, from time to time, I will move between the suburbs of this city and spend the night in the different suburbs of this city. Up to now, I do not have the intention to stay 15 days in one particular suburb. Am I a musaafir or a muqeem?

Q: I am from Peshawar and I am an employee here in Islamabad. I used to come to my office every Monday and go home every Friday. I live here in a hostel for 4 nights every week for the last 1 and half years but I have never stayed for more then 10 days here in my hostel continously. How should I perform my namaaz? Do I have to read qasr or full namaaz? 

Q: I have travelled with my family safar distance to a major city with many suburbs within it, we will be staying in the madressa property in this city, for 2 months and then returning to our town.

We are already here 2 weeks. I never intended staying in the madressa for full 15 days as yet, as i was trying to take out a 3 days jamaat over the weekend, and spending time with this jamaat in another suburb of this big city.

Over the past 2 weekends the jamaat did not materialise and I still have intention to take it out next weekend.

Therefore I still do not have the niyyat yet to stay inside the madressa property for 15 days. However, as from tomorrow it will be that i already stayed 15 full days in the madressa (though not intending it).

1. Am i a musaafir or muqeem?

And what was I all these days?

2. Also what is the general masla regarding big cities with different suburbs? Are they regarded as one big place or different places when it comes to musaafir and muqeem.

Q: I am staying in a hostel and doing my 1st year college. When I come home for the weekend, I offer salaah as a musaafir by offering 2 rakaats zuhr, 2 rakaats asr, 3 rakaats maghrib and 2 rakaats isha. My house is 177 km away from the hostel. Is it right? How many km should it be for me to be a musaafir?

Q: Please can you tell me the laws regarding a woman who gets her period while travelling and ghusl etc. If she takes a ghusl in the place she has travelled to. Will she read Qasr salah etc.

Q: What is qasr?

Q: If I pray Zuhr as a musafir on Friday, and then come back to my home town when there is still some time remaining of Zuhr time, will Jum'ah salah become binding upon me?

Q: Can my sister travel for umrah without a mahram? Her brother is her mahram and he is already in Saudi Arabia. Can she travel with her mother for umrah?

Q: A musaafir joined the zuhr salaah after the imam got up from ruku of the 4th rakaat. After the imam made salam the musaafir masbooq got up to complete his salah however he forgetfully read only 2 rakaats and made salam instead of completing 4 rakaats. Should he now repeat the whole 4 rakaats farz of zuhr or must he perform 2 rakaats qasr?
