Praying in the open, alone or in congregation, at rest stops
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner asks about praying in the open. He says: If I am traveling, is it better to delay the prayer and pray alone in the open, since that has a virtue, or should I pray with the people at the rest stops along the road?
Answer:
No, if you find a congregation or hope to join one, it is not permissible for you to pray alone. You must pray in congregation, because congregational prayer is obligatory. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
