Adhering to a specific form in prayer if diversity causes confusion for the common people
His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the validity of the claim that if the ma'mum or the worshipper in general commits to saying "Our Lord, to You belongs all praise" after bowing, he should commit to it in the entire prayer and not use any other form?
By Allah! In any case, some scholars hold this view. Some scholars stated that one should commit to one form and continue with it. This opinion may be good if there are common people behind him; because if this matter is varied for the common people, they will be confused and say, "What is this talk?" And you—praise be to Allah—if you want to follow the Sunnah, there is breadth in the matter. You can perform it in your prayer at home, in the rawatib, the tahajjud, and the witr. What we see is that it is better that if the Sunnah came with multiple forms, one should perform the act of worship according to the multiple forms in which the Sunnah came.
