The Time for Reciting the Travel Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it prescribed to raise the hands in the travel supplication, when entering the home, and when mounting a riding animal?
Answer:
The travel supplication is recited at the start of the journey, when one mounts a riding animal, a car, a ship (which is a sea vessel), or an airplane. One recites this supplication:[Az-Zukhruf 43:13-14] O Allah, You are the Companion in the journey and the Guardian of the family. O Allah, make our journey easy for us and bless what we return to. O Allah, we seek refuge in You from the hardships of the journey and the sadness of the return. O Allah, make our journey easy for us and bless what we return to.
This is when one mounts for a journey. As for when one mounts a car or a riding animal for other than a journey, intending only to go a distance that does not constitute travel, this supplication is not prescribed because he has not traveled. Yes.
