Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the prayer?
The Shaykh:
The rawatib with the obligatory prayers are at least ten and at most fourteen. Yes. What?
The questioner:
What is the ruling on the rawatib prayer before Fajr, and likewise the greeting of the mosque, if one prays four rak'ahs before Fajr? Is this action valid?
The Shaykh:
No, we pray the rawatib of Fajr, and that suffices for the greeting of the mosque. He prays the rawatib of Fajr, one rak'ah. Something. It suffices for the greeting of the mosque; it is included in it. Yes.
