Musaafir performing salaah behind an imaam who is not a musaafir

· 30 Rajab 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

How can I do ishaa prayer if I am out of my city? After two rakats, should I do salam or should I wait until others complete their Prayer?

Answer

If you are a musaafir and you perform esha salaah alone, then you will only perform two rakaats. However, if you perform salaah in jamaat behind an imaam who is not a musaafir, then you will perform full salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
