Leaving voluntary prayers while maintaining the obligatory ones

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We would like to conclude this session with a question from one of the brothers that the Honorable Shaykh has previously answered. He says that there is a person who maintains the obligatory prayers at their times and never leaves an obligatory prayer, but he leaves the voluntary prayers.

Answer:
This is a deficiency. The rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) and nafilah (voluntary prayers) are complements, and he needs them. So he should perform the voluntary prayers as much as he is able and strive to do so, because they bring an increase in reward, and they are also complements to the obligatory prayers if there is a deficiency in them. Yes.
