Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee cites the book I'anah al-Talibin, stating that azan and iqamah are recommended for a traveller, based on a sound hadith. This applies only if the journey is not for a sinful purpose. If the journey is undertaken for sinful reasons, azan and iqamah are not recommended.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Disunatkan azan dan iqamah bagi orang yang musafir kerana terdapat hadis sohih yang berhubung dengannya.
