The ruling on exchanging places after the obligatory prayer to perform the recommended prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner for the program says: Your Eminence, some people, after the prayer—the obligatory prayer in the mosques—exchange places so that they may pray the recommended or voluntary prayer, as some believe this is so that the earth may testify for them. Is this based on any evidence?
Answer:
It has no valid basis to rely upon. There is a weak hadith regarding it, but one should pray in his own place, and praise be to Allah. One should pray the regular voluntary prayers in his own place, and praise be to Allah.
