Benefits of the Hadith: (The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform the witr prayer on a camel).

The Shaykh : The scholars cited this hadith as evidence that the witr prayer is not obligatory. They stated that praying while riding is a characteristic of voluntary prayers, and this serves as valid evidence. However, there is other evidence indicating that the witr prayer is not obligatory, namely the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): This indicates that nothing is obligatory other than these five prayers. It is not valid to object to us by saying that the festival prayer is obligatory according to the stronger position, and that the eclipse prayer is a collective obligation according to the stronger position, because these became obligatory due to specific causes, whereas the hadith regarding the five prayers concerns matters that revolve with the rotation of the day and night without any specific cause.
