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?
A:
1. If he has to leave for some work then he can just read the 4 fardh with the imaam.
2. Both are permissible. It is better that if you are near the musjid at the time of namaaz then do the namaaz in the musjid with jamaat.
3. It is compulsory to make qasr if you are reading alone.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
