Explanation of the Regular Voluntary Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q257: The questioner says: From Sultanate of Oman: What are the regular voluntary prayers before and after each prayer?
A257: The regular voluntary prayers that are performed, as explained in the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), who said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1180, 1181 In some hadiths, there are four rak'ahs before the midday prayer, and two rak'ahs for the other prayers, namely the sunset, night, and dawn prayers. These are the regular voluntary prayers that are performed along with the other regular voluntary prayers. One should strive to maintain them, except while traveling, for they are not performed in the state of travel. Instead, one limits oneself to the obligatory two-rak'ah prayer along with the four-rak'ah prayer, except for the two rak'ahs of the dawn prayer, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to maintain them in both residence and travel, just as he maintained the witr prayer in both residence and travel.
A257: The regular voluntary prayers that are performed, as explained in the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), who said:
I remember ten Rakat of Nawafil from the Prophet, two Rakat before the Zuhr prayer and two after it; two Rakat after Maghrib prayer in his house, and two Rakat after 'Isha' prayer in his house, and two Rakat before the Fajr prayer
حفظت من النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عشر ركعات: ركعتين قبل الظهر، وركعتين بعدها، وركعتين بعد المغرب في بيته، وركعتين بعد العشاء في بيته، وركعتين قبل صلاة الصبح
