The Ruling on Praying Voluntary Prayers on a Mount for a Resident
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In a segment of his question, he asks about the ruling on praying voluntary prayers on a mount for a resident?
Answer:
No, this has not been reported; rather, this was reported regarding the traveler. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray the night prayer while traveling on his mount, wherever his mount faced, praying the night prayer on it. As for the resident, he does not pray on the mount, because he is not in need of traveling. And if he is riding in the town, or around the town, or for a distance less than that which allows shortening the prayer, then he is not a traveler. The tahajjud on the mount was only reported for travel. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
