Does the traveler pray the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) in the Sacred Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is preferable for a Muslim when he travels to the Sacred Mosque in Makkah or the Prophet's Mosque: should he pray the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) in the mosque, or should he leave them?

Answer:
He should pray the voluntary prayers other than the rawatib. If he wants to pray, he should take advantage of his presence in the two sacred mosques and pray voluntary prayers other than the rawatib. As for the rawatib, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not perform them when he shortened the prayer, except for the rawatib of Fajr only. But for the other prayers, the field is open for voluntary prayers, praise be to Allah. Yes.
