Is the sunnah of Dhuha prayed during travel?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, is the sunnah of Dhuha prayed during travel?
The Shaykh : Yes, the sunnah of Dhuha is prayed even during travel. Many scholars have mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed eight rak'ahs of Dhuha in the house of Umm Hani in the Year of the Conquest. He said, "This is the sunnah of Dhuha." Some scholars said, "This is the sunnah of the Conquest." In any case, I will give you a rule that may Allah make beneficial for you, if Allah wills: "Nothing is dropped from the voluntary prayers for the traveler except three: the rawatib of Zuhr, the rawatib of Maghrib, and the rawatib of Isha. Everything else remains on its original ruling."
So, regarding the absolute voluntary prayers, a traveler may offer whatever voluntary prayers he wishes. The prayer of Dhuha, the night prayer, witr, the sunnah of Fajr, the prayer of istikharah, and the greeting of the mosque, all of these remain on their original ruling. So you exclude three, and the rest remain on their original ruling. The three are the rawatib of Zuhr, Maghrib, and Isha. Yes.
