Question:
May Allah reward you. We also have a call from our brother Mansur from Riyadh. Please, go ahead. Peace be upon you, Shaykh. Peace and the mercy of Allah. Peace be upon you. Shaykh, the first question is about praying in the open desert. We heard that it is equivalent to fifty prayers. Does a person intend to stop in the wilderness when he is traveling, or does he pray in places like roads? The second question.
Answer:
He prays with the congregation and does not intend to say, "I will pray in the open desert." He prays with the congregation in the mosques. Yes.
