Faraz Rabbani – Weekly Q&A Are We Sinful If We Miss Sunna Prayers

			One of the first questions that we have
		

			is are we sinful for missing our sunnah
		

			prayers?
		

			So
		

			we are sinful for leaving the obligatory the
		

			fard or
		

			the wajib.
		

			The sunnah
		

			is something that we are encouraged
		

			to do
		

			and rewarded for doing.
		

			In general, if one misses the sunnah, one
		

			is not sinful. However, one missed out on
		

			reward.
		

			There is
		

			a subset of the sunnah which are the
		

			sunnas of guidance.
		

			The most emphasized of the sunnas, these were
		

			highly encouraged by the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		

			and from the
		

			inveterate
		

			regular practice of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		

			these Sunnas, the Sunna Mu'akada
		

			these are blameworthy
		

			to leave. These are blameworthy to leave and
		

			the most emphasized of them could be
		

			sinful if one made a habit of leaving
		

			them
		

			while knowing that they are so emphasized
		

			without excuse.
		

			So practically,
		

			we implement
		

			the the fard and the the wajib in
		

			our lives
		

			and then we strive
		

			to incorporate the sunnah
		

			into our lives as well.
