The First and Last Tashahhud in the Rawatib Sunnah Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question asking whether there is an authentic hadith stating that some of the rawatib sunnah prayers include a first tashahhud and a last tashahhud, because they are like the Zuhr prayer.
Answer:
We do not know of this. What we know is that it is best to pray four rak'ahs before Zuhr with two taslims, containing only one tashahhud, with one taslim in each unit. Some scholars mentioned that one may offer voluntary prayer that is not a rawatib, but one may offer four rak'ahs like Zuhr. This is the opinion of some scholars, and there is no evidence for it that one may offer four rak'ahs like the Zuhr prayer, which has a first and a second tashahhud. However, this requires evidence. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1319Sahih (Darussalam), and there is a narration in it: Sunan Abi Dawud 1295Sahih (Al-Albani),

The night prayer is (to be offered) two by two.
صلاة الليل مثنى مثنىPrayer by night and day should consist of pairs of rak'ahs.
صلاة الليل والنهار مثنى مثنى
