Question
Salamu alaykum Please, what is the legal opinion on someone praying nawafil while also praying Qasri and he is on a journey. Please, I need evidence from qur`an, sunnah and it should quoted.
Answer
Wa alaykom assalam
The desirability of performing optional prayers while traveling is a debatable issue between the different juristic schools. No indication in the Quran regarding this point. In the Sunnah, it is narrated that the prophet (PBUH) did not quit praying -even while traveling-; Sunnat Al-Fajr and Salatu Al-Witr. As of the rest of them, no direct and clear evidence to the best of my knowledge. Most likely, they are waived.
