What is the ruling on the sunnah before the 'Asr prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is the ruling on the sunnah before the 'Asr prayer?

Answer:
There is no sunnah before the 'Asr prayer, but it is recommended to pray four rak'ahs before it as a purely voluntary prayer, not as a regular voluntary prayer attached to 'Asr, because 'Asr has no regular voluntary prayer, neither before nor after it. However, one prays four rak'ahs before it as a purely voluntary prayer. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that there is a prayer between two adhan, meaning between the adhan and the iqamah. Yes.
