Question:
He says: Does one commit a sin by leaving off the two rak'ahs before Fajr? And the witr prayer? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
None of the sunnahs carry a sin for leaving them off: the sunnah of Fajr, the sunnah of Zuhr, Maghrib, and 'Isha', and the sunnah of Jumu'ah are all voluntary. However, leaving off the preferred ones means missing out on a great reward. Otherwise, there is no sin on him for leaving off any of the voluntary prayers, whether the regular ones or others. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
