Musaafir performing salaah with jamaat in the masjid
Q: I have a few questions regarding a musafir.
1. If a musafir joins the jamaat in the masjid, does he have to perform the full salaah? For example does he have to read the full 10 rakaats of Zohr or just the 4 Fardh that was read in jamaat?
2. Is it better to read the salaah in jamaat in the musjid or on my own, if I don't know any other musaafirs to make jamaat with?
3. Is it better to read qasr salaah or the full salaah when traveling, if I am reading alone?
