Question
Asslamu-alaykum shaykh,
When you are travelling, do we need to pray sunnats (muakaddah) and Witr?
How many miles/km and days is it when you are classed as a traveller?
Jazakallah, may Allah reward you abundantly… Ameen.
Please include me in your duas.
Answer
- Yes, we should pray witr under all circumstances. Sunnats should be prayed when in calm situations if on a journey, or in a rush they could be left out.
- 48 miles/77km – less than 15 days according to the Hanafi madhhab, less than 4 days according to the Shafiee madhhab.
