Does a traveler pray the Ratibah (supererogatory) prayers after completing the Salat with the Imam in the mosque?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A traveler may perform as many supererogatory (nafl) prayers as they wish, except for the pre- and post-Dhuhr regular sunnah prayers, and the regular sunnah prayers for Maghrib and Isha. The Prophet (peace be upon him) did perform the regular sunnah prayer of Fajr, Duha, and Witr while traveling. Ibn Umar criticized those who performed regular sunnah prayers while traveling, citing the actions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his two companions, Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, who did not exceed two rak'ahs while traveling.
