The Sunnah of the Rawatib Prayers for the Resident Who Stays in a Place for a Period

Question:
The questioner says: I came to the city of Riyadh about three weeks ago to complete some business. Do the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) become waived for me, given that I will return to my city after the three weeks?

Answer:
You are required to pray four rak'ahs with the congregation and to pray the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones). It is recommended for you to pray the rawatib, and you should not pray alone. You are required to pray four rak'ahs with the people and not shorten the prayer. It is recommended to pray four rak'ahs before the Dhuhr prayer and two after it, and if you pray four before it and four after it, that is better, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) , two after the Maghrib prayer, two after the 'Isha' prayer, and two before the Fajr prayer. It is recommended to pray four before the 'Asr prayer, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) . Between every adhan (call to prayer) and the prayer, there is a prayer: when the adhan for Maghrib is called, one prays two rak'ahs; when the adhan for 'Isha' is called, one prays two rak'ahs. This is the four rak'ahs.
