The questioner : Likewise, and not in a manner of being subordinate to the other. If it is in a manner of being subordinate to the other, then one of them does not suffice for the other.
The Shaykh : An example of this is if someone said, “I prayed the midday prayer and intended it for the obligatory prayer and the regular voluntary prayer.” Is that valid? It is not valid, because the regular voluntary prayer is subordinate. Likewise, if he said, “I want to pray the dawn prayer and intend it for the dawn prayer and the regular voluntary prayer,” it does not benefit, because it is subordinate to it. Yes. Yes.
The questioner : He said: Making up a prayer is not making up a voluntary prayer, for example.
The Shaykh : That is, even if it is making up a voluntary prayer, the prayer being made up must be performed alone, due to the generality of the hadith: “Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it.”
The questioner : Meaning, if he stood up and said, “This is the greeting of the mosque for us.”
The Shaykh : No, this is different. Even if it is a regular voluntary prayer or an obligatory prayer, it suffices for the greeting of the mosque, as will be mentioned later.
