Discussion on the superiority of performing voluntary prayers at home rather than in the mosque.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Malik: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Indeed, the white one…”
The Shaykh : …except in the mosque. Yes, therefore praying in the mosque is permissible, but it is better to pray it in one’s prayer place. When he (peace be upon him) said:; meaning: from the reward of the one who prays the obligatory prayer in the mosque, which we mentioned earlier: Muwatta Malik 8:1, this virtue is not for the one who prays the funeral prayer in the mosque, but it is permissible for him to do so; because the Messenger (peace be upon him) did so.
So, Glorified are You, O Allah, and with Your praise. I bear witness that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
Abu Malik: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : …except in the mosque. Yes, therefore praying in the mosque is permissible, but it is better to pray it in one’s prayer place. When he (peace be upon him) said:
Whoever prays over a funeral, he has nothing
مَن صلى على جنازة فليس له شيءPrayer in congregation is better than the prayer of a man by himself by twenty-seven degrees.
صلاة الجماعة تفضل صلاة الفذِّ بخمسة وعشرين درجةSo, Glorified are You, O Allah, and with Your praise. I bear witness that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
Abu Malik: May Allah reward you with good.
