Q
What is the significance of the Prophet’s practice of offering different numbers of rak`at for Zuhr and `Asr prayers during travel?
A
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) offered four rak`at of Zuhr prayer at Medina and two rak`at of `Asr prayer at
Dhul-Hulaifa. Narrated Aiyub: “A man said: Anas said, “Then he (the Prophet (ﷺ) passed the night there
till dawn and then he offered the morning (Fajr) prayer, and mounted his Mount and when it arrived at
Al-Baida’ he assumed Ihram for both `Umra and Hajj.”
