The ruling on designating a place in the house for voluntary prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Designating a single place in the house for performing voluntary prayers, O Shaykh, and using a prayer mat, is there any harm in that?

Answer:
There is no harm in designating a place in the house for praying voluntary prayers and the night prayer. As for men, it is obligatory for them to pray in the mosques in congregation. However, if they wish to stand in night prayer, they may do so in their homes to illuminate their homes with it, and because this is more conducive to humility and further from showing off. Yes.
