Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is asking and seeking refuge done in the obligatory prayer or in the voluntary prayer?
Answer:
What is preserved from him (peace and blessings be upon him) is that he did this in his late-night voluntary prayer. As for the obligatory prayer, he did not stop; he would continue his recitation, peace and blessings be upon him. But in the late-night prayer, he would do this thing: he would stop at every verse in the voluntary night prayer.
Q: Is it criticized if someone does this in the obligatory prayer?
The Shaykh: The matter is broad, but leaving it out is better in the obligatory prayer so as not to make it difficult for the people.
