safar distance

Performing qasar salaah when studying safar distance from home

Q: I take Pietermaritzburg as my home (Wathne Asli), however due to me studying and being married, I live in Isipingo Beach and take Isipingo as my Wathne Iqaamat. If I stay in Isipingo for less than 15 days will I be a musaafir in Isipingo? Doesَ my wife have to follow my intention as taking Pietermaritzburg as my Wathne Asli and Isipingo as my Wathne Iqaamat, or can she take Isipingo as her Wathne Asli?

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?

From which point should safar distance be calculated

Q: I have a question regarding qasr.

The distance between Pietermaritzburg and Durban is 77 km which is not qasr distance. I’ve heard a few people saying that if you continue traveling around the area e.g. to North Beach or Westville then you should start reading qasr salah. Is this correct? If it is, then would you still be regarded as a musaafir if you spend nearly every weekend in Durban?

Will a person qualify as a musaafir if he travels safar distance weekly from his home town?

Q: From last four years, every week Monday I travel from my native town to 150 KM for work (working in IT company) and I stay there till Friday evening, I stay with my friends in a rental house, then I return to my native town by Friday night, and I stay in my native town till Monday morning. My question is that while I stay in my working area (i.e. Monday morning to Friday evening) whether I have to shorten my prayer or I have to pray regularly (i.e. four rakaats)?

Law of safr distance

Q: How can one tell that traveling this much distance reduces to half rakahs of prescribed salah whereas that distance doesn't make them tired and what is the case of traveling less than the prescribed distance and getting more tired, at this situation is there any reduction in rakah of salah. What is the factor which acts main in reduction of number of rakah of salah. Is there any rule if travel one day, stays less than 3-4days and returning back, in this situation can we pray reduced salah or fulfilled salah.
