Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on following an imam in the obligatory prayer who is praying a voluntary prayer?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; it is permissible for the one obligated to pray to follow the one praying a voluntary prayer. This is what Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) did. He would pray with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then go out and pray with his people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) knew about this and did not disapprove of it. So it is permissible for the one obligated to pray to follow the one praying a voluntary prayer, and the reverse: the one praying a voluntary prayer following the one obligated to pray. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
