She says: “Your Eminence, when are these supplications recited: ‘O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave, from the trial of life and death, and from the trial of the Dajjal (the false messiah)?’ Are these supplications recited in the obligatory prayers, or in the regular voluntary prayers after finishing the tashahhud and before the taslim?”
Answer:
This seeking of refuge is recited in the obligatory prayer and the voluntary prayer, in the final tashahhud before the taslim, after the salutations and after the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The person recites this seeking of refuge: “I seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave, from the trial of life and death, and from the trial of the Dajjal (the false messiah),” after the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the final tashahhud before he says the taslim. This applies to men and women, in the obligatory and voluntary prayers. This is prescribed (mashru‘).
