Traveler who prays ‘ishaa’ prayer need not re-pray it upon returning home

15-03-1998

Question 1091

Does a person need to re-perform Isha solah four rakaat when he reached home, although he has done the Isha solah two rakaat jama' with maghrib whilst he was still in musafir?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

;

A traveler may combine the Maghrib and Ishaa Prayers, shortening the Ishaa Prayer to two rakaaat only. Once one has done so, one is resolved of obligation and need not re-pray the Ishaa Prayer even if one reaches home during the time of the Ishaa Prayer.

Allah the most Exalted and Knowledgeable knows best.
