Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks about the ruling on praying voluntary prayers in a car, especially while in a settled location, and how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to conduct voluntary prayers while riding?
Answer:
Praying voluntary prayers while riding is only done during travel, in the night prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. If one is in a settled location, he prays on the ground; he prays voluntary prayers on the ground and prays the night prayer on the ground, because he has no need to pray in the car or on a mount, for this is only prescribed during travel for the purpose of covering a distance. As for the one in a settled location, he does not have this distance to cover, and this has not been reported either. Yes.
