Rulings on the Prayer of Fear in the Presence of Safety and in Travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And there is nothing, do you pray the Prayer of Fear with the drink, and how do you pray it?
Answer:
Yes, it is prayed in the presence of safety. The Prayer of Fear is prayed in the presence of safety, but it is prayed completely as four rak'ahs; it is prayed in full. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the prayer, the performance of the prayer, has four characteristics. The first characteristic is if one is safe and not traveling, he completes the prayer in number and form; he completes the prayer in its number and its form. The second situation is if one is traveling and afraid, meaning both conditions are present: fear and travel. Then he shortens the number and shortens the form; he shortens the number to two rak'ahs and shortens the form, meaning he lightens it, lightens the prayer, with a lightening that is not obligatory. He shortens the number and shortens the form when travel and fear are combined. The third situation is if fear is present without travel, then he shortens the form and preserves the number; he shortens the form only and preserves the number as four rak'ahs, but he shortens the form, meaning he lightens it due to the state of fear. The fourth situation is if the presence of safety is found.
And if, in the first situation, we said that if safety and presence are combined, he preserves the form and the number. The second situation is if travel and fear are combined, he shortens the form and shortens the number. The third situation is if fear is present but without disbelief, he shortens the form without the number. Three situations, yes, three situations. The fourth situation is if travel is present without fear, he shortens the number without shortening the form. Yes, the fourth situation. Four situations: if fear and travel are combined, he shortens the number and the form; if travel is present without fear, he shortens the number without the form; if fear is present without travel, he shortens the form without shortening the number; if safety and presence are found, he preserves the number and preserves the form. These are four characteristics, yes.
