The Times of Voluntary Prayers Before and After the Obligatory Prayers

Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the limit for voluntary prayers before and after the obligatory prayer, and likewise for the Friday prayer? Is a person restricted to what was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or is it a good deed that he may increase in, as Allah the Exalted said: ? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.

Answer:
The voluntary prayers before Zuhr are four before it and two after it. The guard of the sun (Dhuha) is two before it and two after it. If he prays four, then four, four before it and four after it, that is better, due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): that he will not be. And it is recommended to pray four before 'Asr, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): . Between the adhan of Maghrib and the iqamah of the prayer are two rak'ahs, and between the adhan of 'Isha' and the iqamah of the prayer are two rak'ahs, due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . After Maghrib are two rak'ahs, and after 'Isha' are two rak'ahs, called rawatib. Before Fajr are two rak'ahs, a sunnah. Before the obligatory prayer are two rak'ahs in his house, and if he prays them in the mosque, there is no harm. For Dhuha, it is recommended to pray two rak'ahs, and if he prays more, he has a reward. The minimum for Dhuha is two rak'ahs. On the day of Jumu'ah, when he comes to the mosque, he prays what Allah has decreed for him; he prays four, or eight, or more, or less. He prays what Allah has written for him, and praise be to Allah. The minimum of that is two rak'ahs. And if he continues praying two rak'ahs, two rak'ahs, until the preacher comes, there is no harm. Yes.
