The Ruling on Abandoning the Regular Voluntary Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Excuse me, Shaykh Salih, one of the brothers says in his question: A Muslim performs the obligatory acts but leaves off the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib). He asks: What is the ruling of the Shari'ah on that?
Answer:
The Muslim should maintain the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) maintained them. So the Muslim should not leave off the rawatib, and he should not leave off the witr either. In fact, if he persists in leaving off the rawatib and the witr, that is a great loss. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
