Voluntary Prayer Between the Adhan and the Iqamah for the Traveler

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to the questioner from Riyadh, who says: If a group is traveling and they call the adhan for the prayer, is it a recommended practice (sunnah) for them to establish the prayer immediately? And assuming they do not establish it immediately, is it prescribed for a person to perform voluntary prayer between the adhan and the iqamah, or is it that the traveler is prescribed to shorten the prayer, so he is not commanded to perform such voluntary prayers?

Answer:
If his intention is a general voluntary prayer, there is no harm. However, if his intention is a regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) before the obligatory prayer, then no; the regular voluntary prayer is not prescribed for the traveler who shortens the prayer. And if they call the adhan, they are not required to establish the iqamah immediately. This is according to what is easy for them. They may delay the iqamah if that is more comfortable for them and the time is ample. Yes.
