Drinking During Voluntary Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible to drink during voluntary prayer?

Answer:
They said it is permissible, and Ibn al-Zubayr did it. This is if one prolongs the voluntary prayer and it tires him, and he needs water to drink a small amount that he can manage while maintaining his state. This is if he prolongs it; as for this light voluntary prayer, he does not need to drink. And this is in the night prayer. I think Ibn al-Zubayr did it in the night prayer; he (may Allah be pleased with him) used to prolong the prayer.
