Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I reside in Riyadh, and I go to al-Qassim for three or four days. Is it permissible for me to leave off the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones) during my stay in al-Qassim? And is there a specific time for these rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones)?
Answer:
If your permanent residence is in Riyadh and you go to al-Qassim only for a visit, and your permanent settlement is in Riyadh, then you are a traveler when you go to al-Qassim, and your stay of three days does not end the travel. However, it is obligatory for you to pray with the congregation in the mosque and to complete the prayer with the congregation. You must not pray alone and shorten the prayer while the mosque is next to you and you leave off the congregational prayer; this is not permissible. Pray with the congregation in the mosque near you and complete the prayer with them. As for if you miss the prayer, or if you do not have a nearby mosque and do not hear the adhan (the call to prayer), then you pray shortened. Yes.
