Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person traveled to a country and stayed there for three days. He prays the obligatory prayers in the mosque with the people of the country, completing the prayer. Is it recommended for him to pray the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers)?
Answer:
Yes, he may pray the rawatib as long as he completes the prayer. It is permissible for him. The one who is prohibited from praying the rawatib is the one who shortens the prayer. And the one who shortens, as Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said when asked about the rawatib while traveling: "If I were to pray voluntary prayers, I would complete the prayer." Yes. And it is not reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray the rawatib while traveling, except for the rawatib of Fajr. Yes.
