Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace.
The questioner:
Shaykh, what is the ruling if I pray the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) seven minutes before the time for prayer has entered? All right.
The Shaykh:
The regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) are not prayed except after the time for prayer has entered. There is nothing before the obligatory prayer except for the Dhuhr prayer, so the regular voluntary prayer before it is not prayed until the time has entered. As for the rest of the regular voluntary prayers, they are after the obligatory prayers, except for the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr, which is also before it. The regular voluntary prayer of Dhuhr before it and the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr before it: it is necessary for the time to have entered for these. Yes.
