The ruling on a traveler leaving the prayer until he returns
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, regarding the prayer of the traveler, if the traveler, Honorable Shaykh, leaves it until he returns to his country,
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is an error. The traveler does not have the prayer dropped from him; rather, he prays it as the prayer of a traveler: he shortens the four-rak'ah prayers to two rak'ahs, and he combines the two prayers if he is traveling on the road. He does not leave the prayer.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
