Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is lengthening the voluntary prayer during the day part of the Sunnah, or is its lengthening specific to the night prayer?
Answer:
Lengthen the prayer as you wish. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 794Sahih (Al-Albani) The prescribed shortening is for the imam who prays with the congregation, because it does not burden them. As for the one who prays alone, there is no meaning to lengthening it as he wishes.
