The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant the elders success.
The Shaykh:
It is not considered a regular voluntary prayer (rawatib); it is considered a voluntary prayer before 'Asr, before the 'Asr prayer, in the time of 'Asr, and it is not called a rawatib, because 'Asr has no rawatib, neither before it nor after it. But this is an independent voluntary prayer. Yes.
