If I regularly travel 44 km from Mississauga to attend JCC in Vaughan, both cities within the GTA, do I still need to perform Qasr, or is it exempt due to the routine nature of travel within a single metropolitan region?
Amina Inloes

Having lived for a few months in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), I can confirm that Mississuaga and Vaughan are commonly considered to be part of the same city unit for the purposes of praying and fasting. That is, you do not say qasr prayers or break fast if you go from one to the other.

Here is an interesting website addressing the question of qasr prayers in the GTA: https://al-m.ca/travel/#gta

The local ulama should also be able to help with any specific questions about travelling questions in the area, since many people have questions about travel prayers!

Is it permissible in Islam for my son to become a civil litigation lawyer in Canada?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It depends on the cases which he defends or takes. Defending the wrong is always not allowed (Haraam)  while supporting the truth and justice is must. Muslim lawyer must avoid any wrong case.
