Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding the form of the prayer of fear? And is this prayer performed in a settled state?

Answer:
The prayer of fear was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in six forms, as Imam Ahmad stated, and all of them are permissible. It is adapted to the varying circumstances; in each instance, he would pray a form suitable for the situation, and all of them are permissible, praise be to Allah. As for in a settled state, it is not performed as it is in travel; rather, it is only shortened, with its pillars and obligatory acts being shortened.
