Ruling regarding those who omit the sunnah muakkadah salaah
Q: What is the ruling regarding the Sunnat Salaah? I see it where people do not perform the Sunnat Salaah at all. They understand that as long as the Fardh Salaah is done, the obligation of Salaah is complete.
Please advise as to how to best address this.
