Can we pray Sunnah and Nafl prayers in the Mosque?<\/p>\n
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful. <\/strong><\/p>\n Answer <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is better and preferable to offer the Sunnah and Nafl prayers at home. This is proven through the sayings of the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saaiduna Ibn Umar Radiallahu Anhu narrates that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam said: \u201cPerform some of your prayers in your houses and do not make them graves.\u201d (Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Imam Nawawi (RA) has said that what is referred to in this hadith is nafl prayers should be read in your houses.\u201d (Sharh Muslim p.67 v.6)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saaiduna Jabir Radiallahu Anhu narrates that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalam said: \u201cWhen one of you finishes his prayer in his mosque, let him give his house a share of his prayer, for Allah (SWA) will create something good in his house from his prayer.\u201d (Sahih Muslim)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ibn Qadamah (RA) has written that it is more preferable to pray at home as it is closer to sincerity and furthest removed from showing off. (Al Mughni p.442 v.1)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However if a person fears that if he was to pray his sunnah and nafl at home there would not be that devotion and concentration or there is a fear of him forgetting then it will be more preferable for him to read it in the Mosque.
