Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah preserve you and bless you. The listener 'Azouz says: Is it true that the reward for the voluntary prayer, meaning the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib), for men is like the reward for the obligatory prayer in the mosque, and that it is better at home?
The Shaykh:
The regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) before the obligatory prayer is better if one performs it at home, and if he performs it in the mosque, there is nothing wrong with that.
The questioner:
And is its reward like the reward of the obligatory prayer?
The Shaykh:
No, its reward is like the reward of the obligatory prayer; the reward of the obligatory prayer is greater and more complete. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
