The ruling on praying four rak'ahs after Maghrib daily
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
ً
I have been praying four rak'ahs after Maghrib for approximately twenty years, and I am now sixty years old.And some say: These four rak'ahs are from the prayer of the awabin (those who return to Allah).And some say: What is the benefit of them? And is there anything required of him if he leaves them off? Since I saw the scholars praying them when I was young, and then I prayed them myself. I ask about their ruling, their benefit, and their name?
As for the rawatib (the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones), they are only two rak'ahs and do not increase. As for what is other than the rawatib, pray whatever you wish. If you pray six rak'ahs, or ten rak'ahs, or twenty rak'ahs, the more you increase, the better it is. The rawatib are only two, and what is other than that, do not make it a regular habit, but make it a purely voluntary prayer (nafilah) whenever you wish, and when you see yourself capable and energetic, then pray.
