Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
Can a person make his sunnah salats at home. I live very close to the mosque and I sometimes make the four sunnah salats Thur/Jumuah at home and then go to the mosque for the Fard. Likewise for Jumuah, after the Fard Salah and dua, it becomes congested in the mosque and I will go home and finish all my sunnah salats there. Is this correct or allowed?
Walaikum assalam,
It is actually best to pray one’s sunna prayers at home, if one is able to do so without an undue interval between the obligatory prayer and the sunna, and as long as one is sure about not missing it. In general, there is more reward in praying sunnas at home, and the obligatory prayer in the masjid. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
