The ruling on a traveler who prays the shortened prayer leading the congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Sa'd, says: If a person is traveling and intends to shorten the prayer and combine prayers, is it permissible for him to lead the prayer?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible for him to lead the prayer, but he should inform them when he intends to lead them that he is shortening the prayer and praying two rak'ahs. They should then complete the prayer for themselves, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did that in the Battle of the Conquest. He said, "O people of Makkah, complete the prayer for yourselves, for we are travelers." This means that after he says the closing salam, they stand up and complete the four rak'ahs. Yes.
