Question

While travelling, can I miss salaah and make qaza of the salaah after reaching my destination? For example, I am travelling and fajar time comes in and I m in a car or bus, so can I mìss my Fajar Salaah and pray qaza after reaching my hometown?

Answer

Perform your namaaz wherever you are. It is not a valid reason for missing out namaaz. Missing out namaaz is counted among the major sins.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

How do I make up missed salaah (qadha)?

“Performing Qadha salaah in one's home or in the musjid is permissible. However, after the time of fajr enters and after performing your asr salaah, if you wish to perform Qadha salaah, then perform it in your home.”
