The Rawatib and Duha Prayers While Traveling and at Home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah forgive you. This questioner says: I am a man who goes out to the desert for two or three days, and I combine and shorten the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha' prayers. He says: May Allah forgive you, I am a man who goes out to the desert for two or three days, and I combine and shorten the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha' prayers. Do I pray the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones) and the Duha prayer, or do I leave them off? And what is prescribed regarding my leaving them off?

Answer:
If your journey is the distance for shortening, eighty kilometers or more, then you shorten the four-rak'ah prayers. If you are not traveling, you do not pray the rawatib except the rawatib of Fajr, whether you are resident or traveling. As for the other rawatib, the one who shortens does not leave them off, because this is what the Sunnah has come with. Except for the rawatib of Fajr, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave it off, neither in residence nor in travel. Yes.

May Allah reward you
