Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the hadith, does the hadith indicate that the prayer was made obligatory twice, once in the sky and once before that?
Answer:
The first time it was made obligatory was during the Mi'raj, on the night of the Mi'raj. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed it in Makkah as two rak'ahs, two rak'ahs. When he migrated to al-Madinah, the prayer of the resident was completed and became four rak'ahs, except for Maghrib, which remained as it was, and except for Fajr, which remained two rak'ahs because the recitation in it is lengthened.
