Fard and Wajib Prayers on a Mount: The General Rule

Voluntary Prayer Sitting or Riding — and Prayer on a Mount

Without necessity, the source does not validate the following on a mount:

• the five Fard prayers;
• Witr and a vowed prayer;
• a voluntary prayer that became binding after being started and then invalidated;
• Janazah prayer;
• a recitation prostration whose verse was recited while on the ground.

The mounted concession for ordinary voluntary prayer therefore must not be applied automatically to these binding acts.
