Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the supplication before the taslim, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave" and so on, obligatory or recommended?
Answer:
It is recommended. This is recommended and not obligatory; because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught the one who prayed incorrectly how to pray, he did not mention these matters. Rather, they are matters that complete the prayer.
