Ruling on Leaving Some Voluntary Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some people, when traveling, leave all the recommended practices except for the two rak'ahs of Fajr and the Witr prayer. What is the ruling on that?
The one who leaves the voluntary prayer during his travel has missed much good; because the voluntary prayer in travel remains prescribed, just like the night prayer, the Duha prayer, the greeting of the mosque, the sunnah of wudu', and other voluntary prayers,Except for three sunnahs, which are: the regular voluntary prayers of Zuhr, Maghrib, and 'Isha',These three: the sunnah is that they are not prayed in travel,If he says: I came to the mosque to wait for the imam to arrive. Will you prevent me from praying?We say: We will not prevent you. Pray whatever you wish, but do not intend it to be the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib); rather, intend it to be a general voluntary prayer. This is what a person needs to do in the Prophet's Mosque and the Sacred Mosque,So we say: Pray whatever you wish of the voluntary prayers; because they are general voluntary prayers.
