If one fears being separated from his companions, does he pray on his mount?

Question : If one fears being separated from his companions, he prays on his mount.

Answer : Yes, even if he is in a state of safety. Because if a person is separated from his companions, he may be lost, or he may fall ill, or fall asleep, or something similar may happen to him, causing him harm. So if he says, "If I dismount and tether the camel and pray, I will miss the group and be unable to catch up with them, but if I pray on my camel, I will catch up with them," we tell him: Pray on the camel. Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear .
