As a traveler, if you enter into a jammat’s last rakat of dhuhr, do you pray 2 rakat or four rakat. This is assuming you do not know if the imam is also traveling or not.","answer":"In situations where you are unsure whether the imam is a traveler, it is not permissible to shorten the prayer behind him. Similarly, you are not allowed to shorten the prayer behind an imam who is a traveler but does not shorten it. Therefore, to answer your particular question, you have to pray four rakats.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe60b76658b4c232875","tag":"Salah: Congregational","count":92},{"_id":"668d9fea0b76658b4c2328e8","tag":"Salah: Traveling","count":65}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:42:00.400Z"}
