All the umma agree upon this unanimously. Allah says: (And when you journey in the earth, there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress 4:101).

Ya’la bin Umayya said: “I asked Omar bin al-Khattab: is ( there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieve will cause you distress ) while the people are safe now? He said: “I wondered at what you have wondered at and asked the Prophet (s) about that. He said: It is a charity that Allah has granted to you. You are to accept His charity.” It was mentioned in Muslim’s Sahih . Ibn Omar said: “I accompanied the Prophet (s) in travel.

He didn’t offer more than two rak’as until he went to the better world. I accompanied Abu Bakr (in travel). He didn’t offer more than two rak’as until he died. I accompanied Omar. He didn’t offer more than two rak’as until he died. Then I accompanied Othman. He didn’t offer more than two rak’as until he died. Allah had said: ( Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar )”[^2] 33:21. Anass bin Malik said: “We traveled with the Prophet (s) from Medina to Mecca.

He offered the prayers in two rak’as until we came back to Medina.”[^3] Ibn Abbas said: “The Prophet (s) stayed in Mecca for nineteen days. He offered qasr prayers.”[^4] The Prophet (s) offered qasr prayers although he stayed for nineteen days because he hadn’t had the intent of residence.[^5] The historians confirmed that the Prophet (s) had led the people of Mecca in offering the four-rak’a prayers after the hijra.

He made tasleem (to end the prayer) after two rak’as but before that he had told the people to complete their prayer until the fourth rak’a and apologized to them that he and his companions, who had come with him from Medina, were travelers.
