Q
Why might voluntary prayers be preferred to be performed at home rather than in a congregation?
A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) made a small room in the month of Ramadan (Sa`id said, “I think that Zaid bin Thabit
said that it was made of a mat”) and he prayed there for a few nights, and so some of his companions
prayed behind him. When he came to know about it, he kept on sitting. In the morning, he went out to
them and said, “I have seen and understood what you did. You should pray in your houses, for the best
prayer of a person is that which he prays in his house except the compulsory prayers.”
