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

The questioner : Your Eminence, is the multiplied prayer 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, meaning that his statement (peace and blessings be upon him) implies that the prayer in it is equal to a hundred thousand prayers. Does this hadith include 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, 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 women, better in the mosque or in the house? If we mention his statement (peace and blessings be upon him) , we say that a man’s prayer other than the obligatory one in the mosque in Makkah and in 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 the house is better, 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.
