The ruling on the prayer of the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) for the traveler who shortens the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last question, Shaykh, is about the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib)?

Answer:
If he shortens the prayer, he does not pray the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib). Whoever shortens the prayer while traveling does not pray the rawatib, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to shorten the prayer while traveling and did not pray anything of the voluntary prayers before it or after it. And Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If I were praying a voluntary prayer, I would have completed the prayer." Yes.

Question:
Some of the brothers reside in the Makkah Haram.

Answer:
And since Allah the Exalted has lightened the prayer for you to two rak'ahs, then you want to pray more than that and say that this is a rawatib (regular voluntary prayer), this is contrary to the Sunnah. As for the night prayer, witr, and tahajjud, that is something sought after. Yes, that is correct.
