The ruling on changing the intention during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner sent a set of questions asking about the ruling on changing one's intention during the prayer, and whether the regular voluntary prayers can be combined.
Answer:
If one changes the intention from an obligatory prayer to a voluntary prayer during the prayer, turning the obligatory prayer into a voluntary one, there is no harm in that. However, the reverse is not allowed; if one turns a voluntary prayer into an obligatory one, this is not valid. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
