Answered by Shaykh Hamza Karamali, SunniPath Academy Teacher
Assalamualaikum
If someone has numbers of prayers that are needed to be made-up (qada’), and he has to travel for a while, how should he perform the make-up prayers while traveling? should he shorten the make-up prayers or should he pray in full?
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate
wa `alaykum as salam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh
Makeup prayers may only be shortened if they were both (a) missed while traveling and (b) made up while traveling. If one missed the makeup prayers before one started traveling and then makes them up while traveling–as in your question–then the makeup prayers must be prayed in full and may not be shortened. (Bushra al-Karim)
And Allah Most High knows best.
Hamza.
