Question:
In the last of this questioner's questions, he says: I wanted to leave Makkah before the 'Asr prayer. After praying Dhuhr in congregation in the Haram, I prayed 'Asr alone, and then I traveled. Is my action valid?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to pray in congregation if you catch the 'Asr prayer in congregation while you are present; you should pray with them. However, if you traveled before 'Asr and prayed alone during your journey, there is no blame on you if there was no one with you. But it is disliked to travel alone, or with two people. The recommended practice is for the travelers to be three or more, based on the hadith in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 2607Hasan (Al-Albani) If it is possible to have two companions with you, that is the obligatory thing. But if there is a dire necessity, there is no blame.
