If a resident prays with a traveler, who leads the prayer?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, when traveling, is it better for the imam to be the traveler or the resident?

Answer:
There is no harm; both are equal. However, if the traveler prays and shortens the prayer, those behind him complete the prayer for themselves. This is because the people of Makkah prayed behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and he said, "O people of Makkah, complete your prayer for yourselves, for I am a traveler." Yes. The prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the people of Makkah in the year of the Conquest. Yes. In the year of the Conquest. Yes.
