A man who maintains the prayers in congregation, but does not perform the regular voluntary prayers!

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, he does not perform the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) and does not carry them out; rather, he performs the obligatory prayers, especially in the mosque, and praise be to Allah, but he leaves off the regular voluntary prayers.

Answer:
He should not leave off the regular voluntary prayers; rather, he should maintain them along with the obligatory prayers, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did and guided us to do, so he should maintain them. The scholars have mentioned that consistently leaving off the regular voluntary prayers diminishes a person's integrity, because his laxity regarding the regular voluntary prayers emboldens him to be lax regarding the obligatory prayers. Yes.
