Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person prays the Fajr prayer in congregation, then sits in his place of prayer remembering Allah the Exalted until the sun has risen, and then wants to pray one rak'ah. If, if. He says: If a person prays the Fajr prayer in congregation, then sits in his place of prayer remembering Allah the Exalted until the sun has risen, and then wants to pray the two rak'ahs of the sunrise, is it better to pray them at home based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
the best prayer of a person is that which he prays in his house except the compulsory prayersصلاة المرء في بيته إلا المكتوبة
Sahih al-Bukhari 731
, or to pray them in the mosque?

Answer:
Pray them in the mosque, in the place where he sat. This makes it specific to this prayer, because this prayer has a cause: it is a prayer with a cause, which is his sitting and waiting until the sun rose. He prays it in the place in the mosque where he is sitting. Yes. And if he goes home, he prays whatever is easy for him; he prays, he does not limit himself to these two rak'ahs; he prays at home. Hmm. Yes. And he increases his prayer at home. Yes.
