The Ruling on the Rawatib (Regular Voluntary Prayers) for the Traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, okay, if you please, yes. When combining or shortening the prayer, is it obligatory for us to perform the sunnahs?
The Shaykh : For the traveler, the sunnah of the midday prayer, the sunnah of the sunset prayer, and the sunnah of the night prayer are dropped. These three are dropped for the traveler. As for the rest, they remain. It is recommended for him to pray the sunnah of the dawn prayer, the witr, the two rak'ahs of the forenoon prayer, and other voluntary prayers. So, nothing is dropped from the voluntary prayers for the traveler except for the three I mentioned to you.
The questioner : The apparent ruling.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The midday and the night prayer.
The Shaykh : And the sunset prayer.
