Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the sunnah and what is the nafilah? Is the one who abandons them punished?

Answer:
The sunnah and the nafilah mean the same thing: they are acts for which the doer is rewarded and the abandoner is not punished. The term sunnah is also used in a broader sense, referring to whatever was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whether it is obligatory or recommended. Yes.
