Ask The Imam Question and Answer

777 Kindly explain how to read Salah while in Travel (Salatul Kasr / Salatul Safar). Also explain in which situation we need to pray Salatul Safar.
A traveller is a person who is away from his permanent place of residence. If he is to reside at a place for more than 15 days then that new place is considered his residence.

The minimum distance to be considered a traveler, one must intend to travel a minimum of approx 54 - 58 miles. Once the journey has commenced then one should read all Salah’s as a traveler.

The Rakats to be read are; 2 Farz for Fajr, Zohr and Asr, 3 Farz for Maghrib and 2 Farz and 3 Witr for Isha.
