People whose prayer is full while traveling.

✅Answer: Pay attention to the following narrations:

1 عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّه قَالَ: الْمُكَارِي وَ الْجَمَّالُ الَّذِي يَخْتَلِفُ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مُقَامٌ يُتِمُّ الصَّلَاةَ وَ يَصُومُ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ.

📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 4, p. 128

Imam Sadiq (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'The mukari, meaning the one who rents out a mount (i.e., someone who rents out his mount for transporting goods and passengers) and a camel driver who constantly travels and does not have a residence, performs the prayer in full and fasts in the month of Ramadan.'

2 عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَرْبَعَةٌ قَدْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمُ التَّمَامُ فِي سَفَرٍ كَانُوا أَوْ حَضَرٍ الْمُكَارِي وَ الْكَرِيُّ وَ الرَّاعِي وَ الْأَشْتَقَانُ لِأَنَّهُ عَمَلُهُمْ.

📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 3, p. 436

Imam Baqir (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Four groups of people, whether they are traveling or at home, are obligated to perform their prayer and fast in full:

The mukari, meaning the one who rents out a mount,

And the kari, meaning the one who rents it (or the one who rents it out),

And the shepherd,

And the messenger (or the guardian and custodian of granaries),

Because this (travel) is their work and profession.'

3 عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّه قَالَ: خَمْسَةٌ يُتِمُّونَ فِي سَفَرٍ كَانُوا أَوْ حَضَرٍ الْمُكَارِي وَ الْكَرِيُّ وَ الْأَشْتَقَانُ وَ هُوَ الْبَرِيدُ وَ الرَّاعِي وَ الْمَلَّاحُ لِأَنَّهُ عَمَلُهُمْ.

📚 Al-Khisal, p. 302

Imam Sadiq (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Five groups of people, whether they are traveling or at home, perform the prayer and fast in full:

The mukari, meaning the one who rents out a mount,

And the kari, meaning the one who rents it,

And the 'ushtaqan, who is the messenger,

And the shepherd,

And the sailor,

Because (travel) is their act, work, and profession.'

4 عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَبْعَةٌ لَا يُقَصِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ الْجَابِي الَّذِي يَدُورُ فِي جِبَايَتِهِ وَ الْأَمِيرُ الَّذِي يَدُورُ فِي إِمَارَتِهِ وَ التَّاجِرُ الَّذِي يَدُورُ فِي تِجَارَتِهِ مِنْ سُوقٍ إِلَى سُوقٍ وَ الرَّاعِي وَ الْبَدَوِيُّ الَّذِي يَطْلُبُ مَوَاضِعَ الْقَطْرِ وَ مَنْبِتَ الشَّجَرِ وَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَطْلُبُ الصَّيْدَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ لَهْوَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْمُحَارِبُ الَّذِي يَقْطَعُ السَّبِيلَ.

📚 Al-Tahdhib, vol. 3, p. 214

Imam Baqir (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Seven people do not pray shortened:

The tax collector who goes around in his area,

And the emir who goes around in his emirate,

And the merchant who goes around in his trade from this market to that market,

And the shepherd,

And the nomad who seeks places of rain and greenery,

And the person who seeks to hunt, and his intention for hunting is worldly entertainment,

And the highwayman who robs.'

✅ In the above narrations and similar ones, individuals who are constantly on the move and do not have a residence and for whom traveling is their work and profession are commanded to perform their prayer and fast in full. It is observed that performing the prayer in full has been made obligatory for them, and they cannot pray shortened. The excuse of being in a hurry has no effect on their duty to perform the prayer in full.

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ
