Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, in his last question, he asks: Which is better, the sunnah of Maghrib, is it at home or in the mosque?

Answer:
It is better at home; that is the better option for the sunnah of Maghrib, the sunnah of 'Isha', and the sunnah of Fajr. It is emphasized to perform them at home. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform them at home. Likewise, it is better to perform the sunnah of Zuhr at home as well. And likewise, it is better to perform all voluntary prayers at home; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
The most excellent prayer of a person is (that which he prays) in his house except that which is prescribed (the five congregational prayers).أفضل صلاة المرء في بيته إلا المكتوبة
Bulugh al-Maram 2:313
This is what he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the two Sahihs.

The presenter: Thank you, may Allah reward you.
