Qadhaa of Salaah missed while one was on Safr
Question
I travel daily from Midrand to Witbank +- 110kms daily to work. I need to know whether the salahs I have to perform daily are in the Qasr state and also if I return home and if I have missed my salahs during the day I have to perform Qaza in a Qasr state.
Also if the Juma salah is missed then whether qaza for the fard salah is 2 or 4 rakaat. (also in above state)
Answer
You will be a musafir. The qadhaa must be offered according to the condition in which the salaah was missed. If it was missed whilst you were a musafir then two rakaats should be performed and if it was missed whilst you were not a musafir then four rakaats must be performed. There is no qadhaa for Jumuah i.e. if the Jumuah was missed one should perform Zuhr.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.

How do I make up missed salaah (qadha)?
“Performing Qadha salaah in one's home or in the musjid is permissible. However, after the time of fajr enters and after performing your asr salaah, if you wish to perform Qadha salaah, then perform it in your home.”
