Prayer (Salah)
Allah says that there is no blame on you if you shorten the prayer while travelling (4:101). The four-rak'ah prayers (Dhuhr, Asr, Isha) are prayed as two. Aisha reported that the prayer was first prescribed as two rak'ahs, and the prayer of the traveller stayed as it was while the prayer of the resident was made four.
The four Sunni schools agree on the main ruling above and differ in these points. No school is preferred here.
وَإِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَقْصُرُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَن يَفْتِنَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ كَانُوا۟ لَكُمْ عَدُوًّۭا مُّبِينًۭا ﴿١٠١﴾
Und wenn ihr im Land umherreist, so ist es keine Sünde für euch, das Gebet abzukürzen, wenn ihr befürchtet, diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, könnten euch überfallen. Die Ungläubigen sind euch ja ein deutlicher Feind.
The point of the hadith: Aisha said that the prayer was first prescribed as two rak'ahs, and the travel prayer remained so while the prayer at home was increased.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتِ الصَّلاَةُ أَوَّلُ مَا فُرِضَتْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأُقِرَّتْ صَلاَةُ السَّفَرِ، وَأُتِمَّتْ صَلاَةُ الْحَضَرِ. قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ فَقُلْتُ لِعُرْوَةَ مَا بَالُ عَائِشَةَ تُتِمُّ قَالَ تَأَوَّلَتْ مَا تَأَوَّلَ عُثْمَانُ.
