Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the doubling of the reward for prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram and al-Masjid al-Nabawi for both obligatory and voluntary prayers, or is it specific to the obligatory prayer?
Answer:
It is general for prayer. The wording of the hadith is "a prayer in this mosque of mine," so this is general for whether the prayer is obligatory or voluntary.
