Question:
If the preacher performs voluntary prayers at home and recites the Qur'an, is he like the one who brings a camel to be sacrificed if he begins at the start of the time?
Answer:
Allah knows best, but good is hoped for him. However, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come except at the time of the sermon. So, if he holds himself back in order to follow the Sunnah, good is hoped for him, if Allah wills.
