The Travelers' Congregational Prayer at Home While Hearing the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
You have the choice that if a group travels to a town and a mu'adhdhin calls them to pray, should they pray in congregation at home?
The Shaykh:
They should pray the shortened prayer, but it is better for them to pray with the congregation.
The questioner:
What are they saying to me?
The Shaykh:
And as long as they are travelers, the full prayer is not obligatory upon them, unless they attend it, in which case they complete it.
The questioner:
Generally, the text of the Shaykh is named regarding the call; I include everything.
The Shaykh:
The intended meaning is those for whom prayer is obligatory, specifically congregational prayer, like one person or like those who are not required to complete the prayer; they are obligated to pray, or are they not required to complete it, and they have another prayer?
The questioner:
If it is not clear.
The Shaykh:
It appears he said it is preferable, but only to block the door to laxity.
