Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : The evidence is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it and then left it off, and this indicates that the command was not for obligation, as they said.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : It is like how he commanded standing for the funeral prayer and then left it off. They said: His leaving it off indicates that the command was not for obligation. For this reason, you will find in the wording of some scholars, always: "and he left it off to indicate the permissibility," meaning the permissibility of leaving it off.
