Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the reward for multiplying the prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram limited to obligatory prayers, or does it apply to both obligatory and voluntary prayers?
Answer:
The hadith is general; it applies to both obligatory and voluntary prayers. It says, “One prayer in my mosque is like this prayer,” and it did not say “one obligatory prayer.” So every prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram, al-Masjid al-Nabawi, and al-Masjid al-Aqsa carries this multiplication. Yes.
