Is it permissible for a traveler who shortens his prayer to perform the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When a person travels, he shortens his prayer during his journey. Is he permitted to perform the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib)?

Answer:
No, except for the regular voluntary prayer before Fajr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never left the regular voluntary prayer before Fajr, whether resident or traveling. As for the other regular voluntary prayers, if he shortens his prayer, he does not perform them. Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "If I were a worshipper, I would complete my worship," meaning if I were praying a voluntary prayer. Yes.
