The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. I sometimes pray the obligatory prayer in congregation at my workplace, then I join the mosque congregation. So if it is the time of Zuhr, I intend that it is the post-Zuhr rawatib sunnah, or something I owe. Yes. I sometimes pray the obligatory prayer in congregation at my workplace, then I join the mosque congregation. So if it is the time of Zuhr, I intend that it is the post-Zuhr rawatib sunnah, or something I owe. Is what I did valid? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
What you did is not appropriate. Since you are going to the mosque, let you pray with the congregation in the mosque, for this is obligatory. Whoever hears the call to prayer must go to the mosque and pray in the mosque. So go to the mosque and pray the obligatory prayer with them, and pray the rawatib after it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

The questioner:
His saying "or something I owe," what is its interpretation for you, may Allah preserve you, Shaykh Salih?

The Shaykh:
He means that he has missed prayers to make up. So if he intends with it to make up a missed prayer from the ones he owes, that is valid.

The presenter:
And, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh:
But as we mentioned.

The presenter:
Yes, yes.

The Shaykh:
As long as the mosque is close to them and they can hear the adhan, it is obligatory for them to go to the mosque and pray with the Muslims. Yes.
