The questioner:
What is the ruling on changing one's religion during the last prayer?
The Shaykh:
To what?
The questioner:
And what about?
The Shaykh:
Changing the intention from one voluntary prayer to another voluntary prayer is permissible, but changing the intention from a voluntary prayer to an obligatory prayer is not; one does not turn a voluntary prayer into an obligatory one. However, turning an obligatory prayer into a voluntary one, or one voluntary prayer into another, is permissible. Yes.
