The Ruling on Performing Voluntary and Recommended Prayers While Traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Umm Abdullah says: Honorable Shaykh, if a woman performs the voluntary and recommended prayers while traveling, does she contradict the Sunnah?
Answer:
While traveling, one should maintain what is obligatory. However, one should maintain the night prayer and the witr, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform tahajjud on his mount, wherever his mount took him. He did not leave the witr, whether resident or traveling. He also maintained the two rak'ahs of Fajr, the rawatib before Fajr. As for the rawatib associated with the obligatory prayers of Zuhr, Maghrib, and 'Isha', if he shortens the prayer, he does not perform the rawatib.
