The traveler’s prayer upon arrival while people are praying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is likely that he prays the Qur’an at a time close to it, but he is closer to the one upon whom are peace and blessings. So does he pray the rain? And is the prayer obligatory? And is it obligatory if he travels to it, does he pray the Qur’an and sit upon it?
Answer:
If he arrives and the people are praying, he prays with them and completes the prayer. If he reaches the town and the people are praying, he prays with them and completes the prayer, unless he has already prayed on the way. If he prayed on the way before entering the town, he does not repeat the prayer; the prayer he performed on the way is sufficient, even if he shortened it, and praise be to Allah.
As for if he delayed the prayer until he reached the town, he prays with the people in congregation and completes the prayer. And the end of the question is Friday.
If he finds that the midday prayer has come due while he is on the way, he prays it as two units. But if it comes due in the town before he leaves, then he is required to pray the Friday prayer. If the mu’adhdhin calls while the imam is entering the pulpit for the sermon, it is not permissible for anyone to travel from the town in which he resides until he has prayed the Friday prayer, because it has come due upon him. But if he traveled from the beginning of the day on Friday and the midday prayer comes due while he is on the way, he prays it on the way and shortens it; there is no impediment.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
