The ruling on forbidding one who prolongs standing in the voluntary prayer of the day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person prolongs his standing in the voluntary prayer during the day, is that forbidden?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not forbidden. If he is praying alone, there is nothing preventing him from prolonging it; Allah will strengthen him. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
It is only forbidden if it causes hardship for the people praying behind him. As for him, if he is praying for himself, he may prolong it as long as he wishes. Yes.
