The ruling on abandoning some recommended practices after having been consistent with them

Question:
May Allah reward you. In her second-to-last question, she asks: What is the ruling on continuing with a sunnah (recommended practice) and then abandoning it afterward? Is the person considered sinful for doing so? And is it obligatory for him to continue with a sunnah once he has started it? Such as fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, standing in night prayer, praying four rak'ahs before the 'Asr prayer, and the like?

Answer:
The sunnah, in the sense of what is recommended (mustahabb), is that for which its doer is rewarded and its abandoner is not punished. So there is no blame on abandoning a sunnah, even if one had been consistent in performing it. There is no blame on him for abandoning it because it is not obligatory. However, continuing with it is better and more excellent, as it is better to stick to the good one has accustomed himself to, so that he does not become lazy or slow in performing obedience. So sunnahs are recommended; it is permissible to perform them, and it is permissible to abandon them. Consistency with them is better if one believes they are recommended and does not believe they are obligatory. Yes?
