The questioner : The pre-Zuhr sunnah, is it permissible to divide it into two rak'ahs at home and two rak'ahs in the mosque...?
The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner : For a necessity, for example, the iqamah is near.
The Shaykh: It is permissible.
The questioner : Is it permissible without a necessity, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, meaning as a recommended practice, it is not permissible, and if there is...
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, is it possible to pray it as four consecutive rak'ahs without the first tashahhud?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is possible, but the best is to make it odd-numbered.
The questioner : The two together. May Allah reward you with good.
