The presenter:
Abu Muhammad from al-Hafar al-Batin.
The questioner:
Hello.
The presenter:
Yes.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace. Turn off the television, Abu Muhammad.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
Turn the television down a bit, because there is interference between us and you. Please, go ahead.
The questioner:
Please, go ahead. How is Shaykh Salih?
The Shaykh:
May Allah keep you safe, yes.
The presenter:
Okay, please go ahead.
The questioner:
I want to make a phone call; I have some words I want to say to the Shaykh between us.
The presenter:
Okay, that is fine. After the program, if Allah wills, you can call again. Thank you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Regarding the voluntary prayer, when is it performed? And is it better if I pray it in the mosque, or should I perform it at home consistently?
The Shaykh:
Voluntary prayer is performed at times other than the five known prohibited times. Whether you pray it at home or in the mosque, the reward is obtained, if Allah wills, with sincere intention. Voluntary prayer at home is better because it is more hidden from people. Yes.
