What should a traveler do if they missed the Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib prayers while traveling and were unable to perform them on time, then arrived home at the time of Isha, and can they combine and shorten the Maghrib and Isha prayers, and do they make up the Dhuhr and Asr prayers shortened?
Prayer holds a great status in Islam, being the first thing a servant will be questioned about. Wasting prayers and delaying them beyond their legally appointed times is among the major sins. If someone delays the Dhuhr and Asr prayers until their times have passed while traveling, they must make them up in full as a precaution. As for the Isha prayer, it is not permissible to shorten it if the traveler reaches their hometown. If the Maghrib prayer time has passed, it must be prayed first, then the Isha prayer, in observance of the order.
