Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh Salih. Also, among the questions in this episode, Abu 'Abd al-Rahman says: A person, before leaving his town as a traveler, heard the iqamah for the prayer. Is he required to pray in congregation in the mosque, given that he has already prepared his luggage and set out for the journey?
Answer:
If he has departed and mounted his mount or his car, he is not required to go to the mosque, because he has departed and prepared for the journey; it is not required of him. However, if he goes, counting on the reward and going, that is better. Yes.
