How Should Someone Who Travels Frequently For Work Perform Her Prayers And Fasts?

How should a person who always travels due to his job perform his prayers and fasts?

Continuous traveling is one of the reasons for rukhsah (concession). There is no religious inconvenience for travelers to benefit from these permissions. As a general principle, as long as the excuse continues, the permission also continues. In this regard, those who always travel perform prayers without delay and by reducing four-rakat fardh cycles into two rakats. When they need or have to, they may perform prayers by combining (jam’) dhuhr and ‘asr prayers together, and maghrib and ‘isha prayers together. They also try to observe Ramadan fasting as much as possible. But if it becomes hard for them to fast during travel, they may delay fasting with the condition to perform qada at an available time later. They should try to perform qada for the missed days as soon as possible. If they fall into a situation of not being able to perform qada, for example if diagnosed with a sickness without a possibility of recovery and making it impossible to fast, they must pay fidyah for each unobserved fast.
