The questioner : You have permitted it, that... Is it that in the last two rak'ahs one should recite whatever is easy?
The Shaykh : Yes, they mentioned it, and we do not have a specific text regarding this. They mentioned that if the four-rak'ah sunnah prayers are performed with a single taslim, one should also recite in the last two rak'ahs after al-Fatihah, just as one recites in the first two, whatever is easy of verses after al-Fatihah. I say they mentioned this and did not mention an explicit text regarding it. However, since the preferred method is to pray two rak'ahs at a time, there is no doubt that in this case, each of the rak'ahs, whether the first two or the last two, one should recite in each of them after al-Fatihah whatever is easy of verses. Is there anything else in your question?
The questioner : This obligatory prayer is four rak'ahs. Is it also obligatory to perform, for example, four rak'ahs of 'Asr, or four after Zuhr, or is it only in this case?
The Shaykh : No, no, all of them are like that.
