Is it permissible to recite after al-Fatihah in the last two rak'ahs of the four-rak'ah sunnah prayers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You have permitted... Is it necessary to recite whatever is easy in the last two rak'ahs?

The Shaykh : Yes, they mentioned—though we do not have a specific text on this—that if the four-rak'ah sunnah prayers are prayed with a single taslim, one should—excuse me—recite in the last two as well, after al-Fatihah, just as one recites in the first two, whatever is easy of verses after al-Fatihah. I say they mentioned this but did not cite an explicit text on it. However, since it is better to pray two rak'ahs at a time, there is no doubt, in this case, that one should recite after al-Fatihah in each of the rak'ahs, whether the first two or the last two, whatever is easy of verses.
The Shaykh: Otherwise; what was in your question?

The questioner : This means the obligatory prayer is four; is it also necessary to apply this—for example, does one pray four for 'Asr or four after Zuhr, or is it only in this case?

The Shaykh : No, no, it is the same for all of them.
Yes.
