Q: I intend travelling from my home town to Johannesburg. I will stay for four days then leave for Pietermaritzburg where I will stay for 7 days then I will go to Durban for 6 days. I will leave my home town in the state of haidh. If I calculate my cycle, I should take a ghusal in Pietermaritzburg so I will read my Salaah in full. However once I leave for Durban, then will I read qasr or salaah in full as I don't think the distance from Pietermaritzburg to Durban is 77.7km. When I leave Durban I will go back to Pietermaritzburg and then to Johannesburg. Will I read qasr in Johannesburg? Please advise.

Q: Can women join Salaatul Istisqaa?

Q: When praying our fard salat in the musjid, I was told that we can have the intention of tahiyyatul musjid included in the fard salaah or the sunnahs prayed before the fard. Does this apply also to maghrib salat (i.e. can we combine the fard of maghrib with tahiyyatul masjid), or is it different since that is a three rakaat salah? If it doesn't apply for maghrib, are there any other salaahs for which it doesn't apply too?

Q: I want to ask that I live in Karachi and the asar time in my city starts from 3.27pm and the adhan for prayer is being called off by 4.15pm but I am a student. I have to go to coaching to take my classes and my class starts from 4.15 to 5.00 and there is a 5 minute break but in that 5 minute break there is such a rush of people so I am not able to pray my Asr Salaah and the next class begins from 5 - 5.45 but at 5.45 it is time for Maghrib. Can I pray before adhan is called?

Q: I was told that one is allowed to recite any dua in Arabic in the sajda of one's salaah. I understand this does not refer to fard salaah. Is this allowed in the sunnah salaah, e.g. 4 rakaats before zuhr and the salaah after the fard salaah. Please assist.

Q: Please can you advise me what to do when my aged parents call me and I am praying fardh/sunnah/nafl salah. Is it permissible to break my salaah when parents call out/children start to cry?
