The questioner : The aforementioned hadith, in which the Bedouin said, "O Messenger of Allah, by Him who sent you with the truth, I will not add to them or subtract from them"—does this mean that if a person leaves off the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones), he does not commit a sin?

The Shaykh : Yes, there is no problem.

The questioner : In general?

The Shaykh : In general, yes.
