The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you in good health, Shaykh Khalid. May I ask you a simple question, my master? Please go ahead. Regarding the last two rak'ahs of 'Asr and Zuhr, after the first tashahhud, do I read anything other than al-Fatihah from the mu'awwidhat if there is time? Okay, another question. May Allah prolong your life. Please, Shaykh Salih.
The Shaykh:
In the last two rak'ahs of the four-rak'ah prayer, or the third rak'ah of Maghrib, one does not recite anything other than al-Fatihah; this is the sunnah. If one recites something from the Qur'an in them, it is permissible. Yes.
