The ruling on a traveler leading a resident in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Good, Shaykh, thank you, thank you. If a person is traveling and intends to shorten and combine the prayers, is it permissible for him to lead the prayer?

Answer:
Yes, the traveler who shortens the prayer leads the residents; it is permissible for him to lead the residents, but he must inform them that he will shorten the prayer so that they complete it for themselves when he concludes the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O people of Makkah, complete your prayer for yourselves, for we are a traveling people." Yes.
