Shortening Salat, ‘Salatu qasr’ ‘Salatu musafir’ are the same.

* Shortening Salat when travelling is sunnatu mu-akkadah (Emphasised Sunnah), even if no difficulty is encountered. 4:101, al-Nasaa’i, 1420; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’I, al-Nasaa’i, 2275; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i. Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 8/127, I’laam al-Musafireen bi Ba’d Aadab wa Ahkaam al-Safar wa ma yakhuss al-Mallaheen al-Jawwiyyeen by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, p. 13

* Shortening Salat mean observing four rak’ats Salat (like Zuhr, ‘Asr and ‘Isha) as two rak’ats. Sahih fiqhi sunnah, Jami’u liahkami fiqhi sunnah.

* Some scholars set a distance for a travel before Salat can be shortened to be four ‘Burud’ (16 farsakh/48 miles/83km) while the most evidenced is to shorten Salat whenever it is referred to as travel in language and practice and it requires preparation of provision for travel. Q4:101-102: Al-Tirmidhi, hadith 2960, Al-Tirmidhi, hadith 453, al-Mughni (2/65), Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (8/99)

* According to some jurists, if you know that you are going to stay in a place for more than four days, you will not do ‘qasr’ but if you are going to stay there for less than four days or you don’t know when you will finish the task, then you will continue with the ‘qasr’ while some concluded that in as much you are living like a traveller (not like inhabitant), shortening of Salat continues. The reason for the differences is that there is no definitive evidence that would dispel confusion, hence, the views of the scholars differed. Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said in his commentary on the hadeeth of al-‘Ala’ ibn al-Hadrami, according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Three days for the muhaajir after returning from Mina.” al-Bukhari, 3933 and Muslim, 1352, Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 4/545, al-Majmoo’, 3/171; Bidaayat al-Mujtahid, 1/168. What this hadith refers to is that staying Makkah was forbidden to one who had migrated therefrom before the Conquest, but it was permitted to those who went there for Hajj or ‘Umrah to stay after completing the rituals (of Hajj or ‘Umrah) for three days and no more. It was understood from this that if a person stays for three days, the rulings on travelers still apply to him. Fath al-Baari, 7/267.

In summary, these three categories of travelers will observe Salat qasr: A traveler that is proceeding without staying on the journey route; a traveler that does not intend to stay but expects accomplishment of a need; and a traveler that travels to a city but does not have the intention of such stay that will make him not to be on journey (like NYSC orientation camp). However, a traveler that travels to a city other than his own city but intends to stay there, such stay that will make him not to be on journey, will not observe Salat qasr. Sahih fiqhi sunnah, Jami’u liahkami fiqhi sunnah.

* Travellers need to attend Jumu’ah and Eid Salat. Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 11/140-142

* It is permissible for a traveller to join two Salats (Zuhur and Asr, Magrib and Ishah), wiping over socks for three days and shortening prayers, and not fasting during Ramadan. And it makes no difference whether he travels by land or by sea. Q4:101, al-Bukhari, 1090; Muslim, 685, al-Bukhari, 1081; Muslim, 693Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (8/109, Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (8/155), Majmoo Fataawa wa Maqaalaat Mutanawwi’iah li’l-Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (12/297). Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 4/514, Muslim, 705, Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 22/293.

* It is permissible for traveler to join two prayers whilst thinking it most likely that he will reach his city before the end of the time for the second one. Liqaa’aat al-Baab il-Maftooh (1/203).

* If the traveler is in a city or town other than his own, he has to attend prayers in congregation in the mosque if he hears the call to prayer. Q4:102, al-Bukhari, 618; Muslim, 651, al-Bukhari, 626; Muslim, 651, al-Tirmidhi, 217; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 15/252, Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 15/422, Al-Awsat, 4/135, Al-Salaah wa Hukm Taarikiha, p. 137, 138, Q2:43, Q3:43 Q9:119, al-Salaah wa Hukm Taarikiha, 139-141, Al-Awsat, 4/134, Subul al-Salaam, 2/18, 19, Abu Dawood (552) and Ibn Maajah (792), Al-Majmoo’, 4/164, Al-Awsat, 4/134, Al-Mughni, 2/3, Muslim, 654, Al-Salaah wa Hukm Taarikiha, p. 146, 147, Al-Salaah wa Hukm Taarikiha, p/ 153

* If a traveler prays with an imam he should pray four rak’ats, whether he catches up with the prayer from the beginning or he misses part of it. Q4:102. Al-Bukhari 636, Muslim 602, Muslim 688, Ahmad 1865.

* If the traveler catches up with the imam in less than a rak’ah, he should pray the prayer in shortened form. For example: the traveler catches up with the imam in the final tashahhud of the Zuhr prayer. In that case he should pray Zuhr as two rak’ahs. This is how he should pray if he did not catch up with one rak’ah or more. Saheeh Muslim (688), Saheeh Muslim (694).

* A traveler that prays ‘Isha behind a resident who is praying Tarawih, after observing two rak’ats with Imam he/she should say the salaam with the imam, because then he has followed the Sunnah by shortening his prayer, and he has not gone differ from the imam, because the imam prayed two rak’ahs. Liqa’ al-Baab il-Maftooh (30/117).

* Nafilah before or after Zuhur, Asr, Mogrib and ‘Ishai may not need to be offered by travellers but it is sunnah to offer others like witr, sunnah of fajr, qiyamu layl, Q33:21, Q51:17, Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood, 1269, al-Bukhari, 1000, al-Bukhaari, 1098, al-Bukhari, 400, al-Bukhari, 357. Al-Bukhari, 1673, Muslim, 1218, Zaad al-Ma’aad, 1/473, Zaad al-Ma’aad, 1/315, Muslim, 681, Kitaab Salaat al-Musaafireen wa qasriha (The prayer of travelers and shortening the prayer) (no. 724), Zaad al-Ma’aad, 1/316.

* Praying Tarawih is mustahabb for the traveller as for the non-traveler. Zaad al-Ma’aad (1/311), Al-Bukhari (945) Saheeh (1112) Q33:21, Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (7/206)

* If you are living in a city working from Monday to Friday and travel back home by weekends, you will not do ‘qasr’ while in the cities (home and working place) except if you are on the road in between, then, you can shorten salat. Liqaa’aat al-Baab al-Maftooh (1/294), Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 8/148.

* A woman should not travel except with a mahram, even if it is a short trip. Al-Bukhaari (1729) and Muslim (2391), Fath al-Baari (4/76), Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (17/339, Tuhfat al-Muhtaaj (2/370) and al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (27/270).

There's no verbal statements you need to make.
Just like other salats, the intention is only done with the heart.
Allah knows best.

Unwanted killings engineered and sponsored by private jets owners, which one of them was apprehended in South Africa few years back. (CAN president to be precise)

i dey ABU too oh

You this lugkaf.. You are a plain confusion. And Allah will surely judge you..


Upon simple travelers prayer that has lots of hadith... Even a chapter in kitab of hadiths..

You come write long and very confusing thing without dalil..


Always copying.. And pasting..



If you were led astray by this dollu mudil.. That is your problem

As long as you are a traveler. You must perform qasr.. That's your own sunnah.. Your own command from Allah..








Living in a place, traveling to a place to work.. As long as you in traveling or a near by state.. You must perform qasr..








Saying qasr is 3 days or more has no dalil.. If you have post the hadith here..


Saying living in a place and working in another state, you won't perform qasr when in your place of work.. Bring your dalil here.. Quote the hadith here


Those salafs performing qasr are very correct, it's you that you are very far from knowledge.


Simple qasr, you don't know.. How will you understand aqeedah?




Am serving currently in kebbi.. Most... Almost everyone is not performing qasr...


And those MCAN are elegbe..


I really pity people who don't know their religion..



If you die on dolal, no excuse of ignorance..

We are created to worship Allah, HE sent Prophet Muhammad to us..

Hadith



حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَلَمَةَ الْهُذَلِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَيْفَ أُصَلِّي إِذَا كُنْتُ بِمَكَّةَ إِذَا لَمْ أُصَلِّ مَعَ الإِمَامِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ سُنَّةَ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏



Musa b. Salama Hudhali said:

I asked Ibn 'Abbas: How should I say prayer when I am in Mecca, and when I do not pray along with the Imam? He said: Two rak'ahs (of prayer) is the Sunnah of Abu 'l-Qasim (ﷺ).



Sahih Muslim 688 a
In-book : Book 6, Hadith 8
USC-MSA web (English) : Book 4, Hadith 1465  (deprecated)




This hadith is saying YOU AS A TRAVELER SHOULD NOT PRAY BEHIND IMAM..

Perform you own qasr separately or else you wanna perform it with another person who want to perform qasr too

Hadith

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُبَارَكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ جَاءَ عُمَرُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ، فَجَعَلَ يَسُبُّ كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ وَيَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُ الْعَصْرَ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَغِيبَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

‏ وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا بَعْدُ ‏"

‏‏‏ قَالَ فَنَزَلَ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ فَتَوَضَّأَ، وَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ بَعْدَهَا‏‏

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:

On the day of the Khandaq `Umar came, cursing the disbelievers of Quraish and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have not offered the `Asr prayer and the sun has set." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "By Allah! I too, have not offered the prayer yet. "The Prophet (ﷺ) then went to Buthan, performed ablution and performed the `Asr prayer after the sun had set and then offered the Maghrib prayer after it."

What does this hadith have to do with taraweeh for a traveler?


A traveler won't perform any nawafil.... No dalil for it
