The Ruling on Praying the Rawatib While Traveling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The 'Uzlah is a sunnah (recommended practice). The one who does not pray it.

Answer:
Among the voluntary prayers in travel are the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones). The ghawwasah (the prostration) that is with the obligatory prayers. These are not prayed, neither before nor after, except for the rawatib of Fajr. And the 'Ashirah of Fajr is not due. Neither in travel nor in residence. As for the rawatib with Zuhr, the rawatib with Maghrib, and the rawatib with 'Isha', these are not prayed by one who shortens the prayer. The one who shortens the prayer does not pray the rawatib before or after it.
As for Tahajjud at night and Witr, it is not befitting to leave them. A person performs Tahajjud; if he is staying, he performs it as usual, and if he is riding, then as you heard, he performs Tahajjud on his mount. Tahajjud is not left.
