Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the hadith of Jabir, it states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) then descended to Muzdalifah, combined the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers, and did not perform any voluntary prayer after them. Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) also reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray anything other than the two obligatory prayers and did not perform any voluntary prayers. The questioner asks: Can it be taken from this that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) to leave the Witr and the two rak'ahs of Fajr?
Answer:
No, it is not a recommended practice (sunnah) to leave the Witr and the two rak'ahs of Fajr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave them, neither when resident nor when traveling. Yes.
