Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If two people are present, one is a traveler and the other is a resident, who is more deserving of leading the prayer if the prayer is four units, the traveler wants to shorten it, and the traveler is a memorizer of the Book of Allah?
Answer:
There is no harm in the traveler leading the resident, shortening the prayer, and the resident standing and completing what remains for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed with the people of Makkah in the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage, the year of the Conquest. He prayed in the Sacred Precinct, and the Muslims from the people of Makkah prayed behind him So there is no harm in the imam leading the residents and shortening the prayer, and then when he concludes the prayer, they stand and complete it for themselves.
As for the reverse, which is for the traveler to pray behind the resident, it is obligatory for the traveler to complete the prayer and not shorten it behind one who shortens the prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
