Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first message in this episode is from a listener named Abu Mu'min Khalil Allah Ali, an Egyptian working in Yemen. We presented part of his questions in a previous episode, and he has a set of questions remaining for this episode. For example, he asks and says:
I pray the 'Isha' prayer in congregation at the mosque, then I return home and pray the 'Isha' prayer with my wife, counting it as a voluntary prayer for me, while it is an obligatory prayer for her. Is there anything wrong with that?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
There is no harm in that if the intention is to teach her and guide her to the lawful prayer. Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pray the 'Isha' prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he would return to his people and pray that prayer with them, so it would be a voluntary prayer for him and an obligatory prayer for his congregation. There is no harm in that, and there is a benefit in terms of teaching and guidance. I do not know of any objection to this, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
