Question:
He says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah bless you, what is the ruling on the rawatib prayers while traveling, and likewise voluntary fasting?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with voluntary fasting. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast voluntarily while traveling, and he used to perform the tahajjud prayer at night wherever his mount faced him; he would pray tahajjud on the mount. He did not leave the witr prayer, whether resident or traveling. So you do what you are able to of these matters.
