Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) obligatory for the traveler?
Answer:
No, he is not required to perform them except for the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) of Fajr. He does not leave the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) of Fajr, whether he is resident or traveling, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to maintain it while traveling and while resident. As for the rest of the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib), if he shortens the prayer, he does not perform them. Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said, "If I were praying a voluntary prayer, I would complete it," meaning he would complete the prayer. Yes.
