The Rawatib Prayers for the Traveler to Makkah and al-Madinah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, if I travel to Makkah or al-Madinah for less than four days, is it better to leave off the rawatib, except for the rawatib of Fajr, or should I take advantage of the honor of the place and pray them there?
Answer:
What appears to me is that if you pray with the congregation and complete the prayer, you pray the rawatib. However, if you shorten the prayer to two rak'ahs, you do not pray the rawatib. But if you pray it completely as four rak'ahs, you pray the rawatib. Yes.
