Know More: Talk on Solat for travelling


The basic principle is that the traveller who is actually travelling is the one who is granted a concession allowing him to shorten the four-rak’ah prayers.
Allah subhanahu wata`ala says:

“And when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten As-Salah (the prayer)”

 [Al-Nisa’, 4:101]

And Ya’la ibn Umayyah (radiallahu’anhu) said: I said to ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (radiallahu`anhu):

 “ ‘And when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten As-Salah (the prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you),’” ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab said: I wondered the same thing as you, and I asked the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam ) about it, and he said: “It is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity.”

 [Narrated by Muslim]

 If a traveller unspecific, stays in a place awaiting something to be fulfilled or resolved, he still may shorten his prayer, for he is considered a traveller.
