The Sunnah Salah that comes after `Isha’

Q 1: Is it permissible for a traveler to offer Salahs (prayers) other than the obligatory ones; that is to say, to offer Nawafil (supererogatory Salah) as one is used to before travelling? Or should they restrict themselves to (Part No. 7; Page No. 256) offer the Faridah (Obligatory prayer) only and leave the Witr (Prayer with an odd number of units) and other Sunan?


A: It is not prescribed to offer Al-Sunan Al-Rawatib (supererogatory Salahs that were stressed and regularly performed by the Prophet) during traveling except for Fajr Prayer and Witr (Prayer with an odd number of units), for the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to maintain offering them whether he was traveling or not.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
