Question:
Among the questions that came to the program, Shaykh Salih, a questioner says: What is the ruling on praying the obligatory prayer behind someone who is praying a voluntary prayer?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; it is permissible to pray the obligatory prayer behind someone who is praying a voluntary prayer. This is because Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pray with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he would go out and pray with his people. It was a voluntary prayer for him and an obligatory prayer for them, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of that. Yes.
