Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to pray the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) in a car while driving within the city, given that it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray voluntary prayers on his mount?
The Shaykh:
You are not a traveler. The Prophet was a traveler. You are in the city. Do you say you are a traveler? No. Get out of the car and pray. Yes. Or stop the car and pray on land or in a mosque near you. Yes. Stop the car and pray. You do not need to pray in the car. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
I was in the town. But if you are traveling on the road, it may be permissible for you to pray the voluntary prayer in the car. Yes.
