Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The author’s inference from the chapter title: al-Munfari’ leading the prayer in voluntary prayers.
The Shaykh:
Mm.
The questioner:
The author’s chapter title, or the transition from being a solitary worshipper to leading the prayer in voluntary prayers: is the restriction of voluntary prayers in this context appropriate? Is an obligatory prayer like a voluntary prayer in this regard? The chapter is on the transition of a solitary worshipper to leading the prayer in voluntary prayers. If a person comes, having prayed alone, and then prays with him, he leads the prayer.
The Shaykh:
Every day is a broad matter; there is no obstacle to this, or no obstacle to this, or no obstacle to this; all of it is realized, and it is all good.
The questioner:
The apparent restriction in this regarding voluntary prayers. The chapter on women’s boasting in voluntary prayers. The book on criticizing the solitary worshipper leading voluntary prayers. They find the methods.
The Shaykh:
The apparent ruling is one, and the default is one; I say the default is one. But perhaps the intention is that it is not obligatory to report the reality; I say the intention is that it is not obligatory to report the reality, otherwise the ruling is one. If he was praying alone and a person came and joined him, he became the imam, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. This is true. Yes. Yes. The permissibility of using perfume for the sake of need and benefit, and clapping: for men, it is known from the nature of men that clapping is better than clapping for all women, and the guidance for him is tasbih (glorification of Allah). The benefit is the need for change; so if a person is affected from his right or from his left or something from them and changes, there is no harm in that.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
The house of weakness, the house of impatience, yes.
The questioner:
Regarding the imam who follows the prayer.
The Shaykh:
So this is the best: he appoints a substitute. If he prays, if he does not appoint a substitute, he appoints him. They bring it to him when he comes. And if he completes it, let him do something; each one completes for himself the parts. He does not repeat for himself, he does not repeat for himself, yes, the correct view is that he does not repeat for himself.
