Witr, Duha, and Tahajjud in Travel

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: You mentioned that the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) are not performed while traveling, except for the Fajr rawatib. The question is: Is Witr also left off while traveling? And are the other recommended practices, such as the Duha prayer and others, also left off?

Answer:
We said that the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) do not include Witr. Witr is an independent prayer that is not left off, neither in residence nor in travel. Likewise, there is no objection to performing Tahajjud at night; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform Tahajjud on his mount, wherever it carried him. Similarly, regarding the Duha prayer, if it is easy for him, he prays it. This concern applies only to the rawatib attached to the obligatory prayers, so that people do not assume that these are part of the obligatory prayer, thinking that it is necessary to pray them with the obligatory prayer. Allah intends to make things easy, so this would cause hardship for people.
