The Ruling on Delaying the Pre-Zuhr Rawatib Prayer Until After the Obligatory Prayer

Question:
The questioner, Noura Aw from Riyadh, asks in her question about the ruling on delaying the pre-Zuhr rawatib prayer until after finishing the obligatory prayer, out of fear of missing the time?

Answer:
The pre-Zuhr rawatib is prayed before the Zuhr prayer. If you fear missing the time, meaning that the time for the second prayer after Zuhr, which is the 'Asr prayer, will enter, and you fear the entry of the 'Asr time, then you should hasten to perform the obligatory prayer. However, if there is ample time, you should pray the rawatib first, then pray Zuhr, and then pray the rawatib that follows it, because the Zuhr prayer has two rawatib prayers: one before it and one after it. So, with ample time, you perform both the pre- and post-rawatib prayers, and with limited time, you restrict yourself to the obligatory prayer so that the time does not pass. Yes.
