The Ruling on the Two Rak'ahs Before Maghrib
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
(peace and blessings be upon him), meaning, is it prescribed to maintain the two rak'ahs before Maghrib?
The Shaykh:
It is better. Yes. It is a mustahabb (recommended). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Pray, and pray," and then he said, "Whoever wishes," so it is not obligatory for whoever wishes. May Allah reward you. And regarding the time of 'Isha'.
