Is the multiplication of prayers in the Haram general for all prayers, or only for the obligatory prayer?

The questioner : Your Eminence, is the multiplication of prayers in the Haram general for all prayers, or only for the obligatory prayer? What is your verification of this issue?

The Shaykh : My answer to this question is that it is general. That is, his statement (peace and blessings be upon him) means that the prayer in it is worth a hundred thousand prayers. This hadith includes both the obligatory and the voluntary prayers. If we keep in mind that a woman’s prayer in her home is better than her prayer in her mosque, then when she prays in the Sacred Mosque, there is no doubt that she is recorded the same multiplication that is multiplied for men, because she prayed in this sacred place. However, if she prays in her home, she is recorded the same reward plus the virtue of the home. As I mentioned earlier, she is recorded a hundred thousand prayers, plus at least ten good deeds, because one good deed is ten or more.
This leads us to the question: Is the voluntary prayer for men, let alone for women, better in the mosque or in the home? If we mention his statement (peace and blessings be upon him) , we say that a man’s prayer other than the obligatory one in Makkah and Madinah is better for him than his prayer in the two mosques. If prayer in the two mosques has that virtue, and his voluntary prayer in his home is better, then we reach the previous conclusion that a man’s voluntary prayer in his home is better than his prayer in the Prophet’s Mosque or in the Sacred Mosque. This is the answer.
