What is awla and prefereble for a shafiee in safar?to perform qasar or full salaah? And is it permissible for a shafiee to make imamat of full salaah if he is in safar?
Answer :
Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh, It is permissible (jaiz) for a traveller to shorten one’s salah of four rakaats to two rakaats. There are two types of journeys, long and short.
A Long journey is two marhalah. It is preferable (awla) for a traveler to perform full salah 4 rakaats if a journey is less than 3 marhalah. However, if the journey is 3 marhalahs or more, it is awla to shorten it. It is permissible for a Shafi’i to be an imam of full salah even though he is musafir (traveler). يجوز للمسافر سفرا طويلا مباحا قصر الظهر والعصر والعشاء ركعتين ركعتين (المنهج القويم: 286) And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
