Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is better regarding the performance of voluntary prayers? Is it better to perform them at home or in the mosque?
Answer:
The home is better because it is further from showing off, and it also has a benefit for the house and the people of the house. So the best place for a man to pray is in his house. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:313 Just satisfaction.

The most excellent prayer of a person is (that which he prays) in his house except that which is prescribed (the five congregational prayers).
