What is the ruling on the Friday prayer and the tarawih prayer for a traveler?

Question:
The questioner says: We are traveling from Makkah to Egypt by ship. Is the Friday prayer obligatory for us? Is the tarawih prayer obligatory for us?

Answer:
The Friday prayer requires settling in a town. As for the traveler, the Friday prayer is not obligatory for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) traveled several times in his life, and it is not reported that he prayed the Friday prayer while traveling. The traveler is not required to pray the Friday prayer while he is moving along the road. However, if he arrives in a town, if he arrives in a town and the people are praying the Friday prayer, he prays with them. As for establishing it in the desert or on the road, that is contrary to the Sunnah. He prays the Zuhr prayer and shortens the Zuhr prayer to two rak'ahs. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
