Question
Can a traveller be the imaam of residents? If yes, how should the Salaat be performed?
Answer
Yes, it is permissible for a musaafir (traveller) to lead resident (muqeem) Muslims in Salaat. The musaafir Imaam has to perform two raka'ts. Immediately after he makes Salaam, the residents must rise and complete their two raka'ts without reciting Qiraa't. They should only be in Qiyaam (standing) for some time. The minimum time is the duration of three tasbeehs.
