The ruling on a traveler joining the tarawih prayer with the intention of 'Isha'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I missed the 'Isha' prayer with the congregation, so I joined the congregation in the tarawih prayer with the intention of praying 'Isha'. However, I said the closing salam with the imam after two rak'ahs with the intention of shortening the prayer, because I am a traveler.
Answer:
If it is as you described, then you owe nothing. But you are being economical; you are not being a traveler. You are always making things difficult for yourself.
