How does a traveler pray if he leads a congregation of residents?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: A group of residents came to a man who is in the status of a traveler, whether they were Bedouins or settled people, and he was the most proficient of them in recitation, so they appointed him as imam. Does he pray two rak'ahs, or does he follow them?
The Shaykh : If a traveler prays with a group of residents, he prays two rak'ahs, then says the taslim, and then the residents complete the rest of their prayer. He should inform them of this, saying: "I am a traveler, and I will pray two rak'ahs. When I say the taslim, complete your prayer." For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray with the people of Makkah on the day of its conquest, and he would say to them: "Complete your prayer, O people of Makkah, for we are a people who are in a hurry."
