I have read on another 'question and answer' site that women are not regarded as travelling if they are on a period. Consequently when they take a bath to become pure once they reach their destination, they have to pray full salaat.

I will be travelling to the middle east with my family and am likely to still be on my periods on the journey there, but will probably finish once I get there. My husband will be able to pray qasr, but not me. Why is this so?

Jazakallah.
