Q: I work in a hospital. The nearest Musjid/Musallah is about 5-6 km away. Alhamdulillah we have permission to travel for Zuhr salaah during our lunch break (Our lunch break is 30 min, but it takes about 40min to go for Zuhr salaah and come back to work) and have been doing so for approximately the last 3 years.

However there are colleagues from other departments in the hospital who are not always able to join us for salaah. Should we request hospital management to give us a room to perform salaah with jamaat, and encourage other colleagues to join us for jamaat, or should we continue to encourage them to join us for salaah at the musjid?

2. If the salaah breaks, then if among the muqtadis there was a person who was a musaafir, should the musaafir muqtadi repeat four rakaats or two rakaats?
