Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His statement (peace and blessings be upon him): “A prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram, and likewise a prayer in this mosque of mine.” Then he mentioned the reward associated with that. Is it specific to the obligatory prayer only, or does the voluntary prayer also fall under it? And if the voluntary prayer falls under this, is it better than our prayer at home?
Answer:
The hadith is general and encompasses both the voluntary and obligatory prayers in al-Masjid al-Haram and al-Masjid al-Nabawi. However, the voluntary prayer at home is better and its reward is greater.
