Combining the remaining pre- and post-prayer rawatib with a single taslim

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: A man prayed two rak'ahs of the pre-Zuhr rawatib, then the iqamah was called. Is it permissible for him to pray the post-Zuhr rawatib together with the remaining rawatib, which is two rak'ahs, with a single taslim?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He says: A man prayed two rak'ahs of the pre-Zuhr rawatib, then the iqamah was called. Is it permissible for him to pray the post-Zuhr rawatib together with the remaining rawatib, which is two rak'ahs, with a single taslim?

The Shaykh:
It is permissible for him to pray four voluntary rak'ahs during the day with a single taslim, but it is better to separate them by praying two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs, because in some narrations it is stated: Therefore, separating each pair of two rak'ahs with a taslim is better and more excellent. Otherwise, the scholars have stated that it is permissible for him to pray four voluntary rak'ahs during the day, like the Zuhr prayer, with a single taslim. Yes.
