Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, Salih says, may Allah keep you safe: Is it better for a traveler to perform the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) or to leave them off, except for the one before Fajr?

Answer:
A traveler who shortens the four-rak'ah prayer to two rak'ahs does not perform the rawatib. 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said:

As for the rawatib of Fajr, he does not leave it off, whether resident or traveling.
