Preserving the Rawatib Prayers While Traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Do the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones) have to be maintained while traveling?
Answer:
No, except for the rawatib of Fajr. The rawatib of Fajr are not left off, whether one is resident or traveling. As for the other rawatib, if he shortens the prayer, he does not perform them. Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said, “If I were praying a voluntary prayer, I would complete it.”
