The Time for the Traveler's Supplication

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: We traveled from al-Qassim to Riyadh a few days ago, and two questions became unclear to us and our brothers: When is the prayer for travel? Is it when leaving the city, or when mounting the mount?

Answer:
The prayer for travel is recited when one mounts a means of travel, whether a mount, a car, an airplane, or something else, or a vessel on the sea. So, when one mounts intending to travel, he recites the prescribed prayer:
"Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it. (14) And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return."سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:13-14]
from Surat al-Imran to the end of the prayer reported for the beginning of the journey. Yes.
