The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some people pray between the adhan and the iqamah in the Dhuhr and 'Asr prayers more than ten rak'ahs, and they say that there is a prayer between every two adhans. Is their action valid, or is it better to restrict themselves to what is reported in the Sunnah of the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones)?
The Shaykh:
'Asr has no rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) before it or after it. He prays whatever is easy for him. The hadith was reported: "Whoever prays four rak'ahs before 'AsrSunan Ibn Majah 757Da'if (Darussalam)" So if he prays four, or two, or more than four, the door is open, and praise be to Allah. If he prays from the adhan to the iqamah, there is no harm. More is better. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. Continuing with a specific number, ten rak'ahs continuously.
The Shaykh:
Continuously? No. No, there is no evidence for that. Yes.
