Qualification for the concession
1. The journey whereby regulations become altered is that a man intend [to reach] a place [which is such that] there is between him and it [a distance of] three days’ or nights’ journey, according to the progress of a camel or [that] by foot. That is not considered [in the same way] for travel by sea.
2. The disobedient and the obedient on a journey are equal in the dispensation.
Number of Rak`at
1. The fard of the traveller, according to us, is two rak`ah in every four-rak`ah prayer, it not being permissible for him to add [two more] to them. But, if he prayed four [rak`ah], and had sat in the second for the measure of the tashahhud, [the first] two rak`ah suffice him for his fard, and the last two are nafl for him. However, if he did not sit for the measure of the tashahhud in the first two rak`ah, his salah is invalidated.
2. One who sets out as a traveller prays two rak`ah [instead of four] when he leaves behind the houses of the settled area.
3. When a traveller enters into [group] prayer of a resident, while the time [of the salah] remains, he prays the salah in full. But, if he enters with [the resident] in a missed prayer, his salah is not valid behind him.
4. When a traveller leads residents in two rak`ah, he performs taslim, and then the residents complete their salah. It is recommended for him, when he performs taslim, to say, ‘Complete your salah, for we are journeying people.’
5. Whoever misses a prayer on a journey, makes it up as two rak`ah [even if he makes it up] in residence. Whoever missed a prayer in residence makes it up as four rak`ah [even if he makes it up] on a journey.
Breaking the Journey
1. He continues to apply the regulations of travel until he intends to remain in a city fifteen days or more, at which point he is required to pray in full. If he intends to remain less than that, he does not pray in full.
2. Someone who enters a city, and does not intend to remain there fifteen days, but rather says [each day], ‘Tomorrow I will depart, or the day after I will depart,’ until he remains in this way for years [remains a traveller, and thus] prays two rak`ah.
3. When an army enters the land of war, and then intend to remain there fifteen days, they do not pray the salah in full.
4. When the traveller enters his home-town, he prays the salah in full, even if he did not intend to remain there.
5. Whoever has a home-land, and then moves from it and takes up residence in another land, and then travels and enters his first home-land, does not pray the salah in full.
6. If the traveller intends to remain in Makkah and Mina fifteen days, he does not pray the salah in full.
