Is it better for a traveler to pray the tarawih prayer?

Question : Is it better for a traveler to pray the tarawih, which is a voluntary prayer not specifically designated for being performed consistently in residence or travel, or is it better not to pray it, with clarification and evidence?

Answer : It is better for a traveler to pray the tarawih. Similarly, it is better for him to pray all voluntary prayers, except for the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) of the midday, sunset, and night prayers. As for the other voluntary prayers, they are a recommended practice (sunnah) for him, just as they are a recommended practice for the resident. The notion held by some people, and indeed the view adopted by some scholars, that a traveler does not perform voluntary prayers except for the witr and the regular voluntary prayer of the dawn prayer is incorrect. The correct view is that a traveler performs voluntary prayers of all types, except that the regular voluntary prayers of the midday, sunset, and night prayers are excluded. However, if he is sitting waiting for the prayer and wishes to perform a voluntary prayer other than the regular one before the midday prayer, there is no harm in it, or before the night prayer, there is no harm in it. Yes.
