Travel does not prevent one from doing good

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Is it better to leave off the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) in the Sacred Precinct if one is traveling, or not?
You must know, my brothers, that travel does not prevent one from doing good.And as for the statement of some: It is part of the Sunnah to leave off the Sunnah when traveling.
This is a false claim.Who said: Is it part of the Sunnah to leave off the Sunnah when traveling? Travel does not prevent one from doing good.

But there are three Sunnah prayers that are not performed, and they are: the regular voluntary prayer of Zuhr, the regular voluntary prayer of Maghrib, and the regular voluntary prayer of 'Isha'.
Three regular voluntary prayers are not performed while traveling. However, if a person comes to the Sacred Precinct or to another mosque while traveling, before settling down, he should pray. The voluntary prayers, not the regular ones, are not intended as regular prayers. The traveler also performs the late-night voluntary prayer, the greeting of the mosque, and the voluntary prayer of the forenoon. He performs all voluntary prayers, except for the three regular ones, which he does not perform.
