Are the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) performed while traveling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Do I have to pray the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) while I am traveling between Riyadh and Dammam, and between Riyadh and Jeddah, since I travel through the cities of the Kingdom?

Answer:
If you shorten the four-rak'ah prayer, you do not pray the rawatib with it, except for the rawatib of Fajr. The rawatib of Fajr is not left off, whether you are resident or traveling. As for shortening the four-rak'ah prayer while traveling, you do not pray the rawatib. Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If you were reciting tasbih, you would complete it, meaning if you were praying a voluntary prayer, you would complete the prayer. So Allah has made it easy for you, and you do not perform the rawatib except the rawatib of Fajr. Yes.
