The Recommendation of Two Rak'ahs Before Entering Ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, is it recommended to perform two rak'ahs for the ihram?

Answer:
If one enters ihram after an obligatory prayer, and the time of the ihram coincides with the time of the obligatory prayer, it is recommended for him to enter ihram after the obligatory prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. However, if the time is not the time of an obligatory prayer, some scholars say that a specific prayer is not prescribed for the ihram. But if he prays and then enters ihram afterward, at a time when prayer is not prohibited, there is no blame on him for that. Yes.
