The discussion concerns the two rak'ahs specific to the blessed valley, namely the Valley of Dhul-Hulaifah.

The Shaykh : I hope you pay attention to what I am about to say: these two rak'ahs are not part of the sunnah of ihram, but rather they are part of the sunnah of the miqat. This is the miqat of Dhul-Hulaifah, where it is mentioned in the authentic hadith in al-Bukhari and others: Therefore, on account of this valley which passes through Dhul-Hulaifah, these two rak'ahs were prescribed. The meaning of this, that is, the meaning of my statement that these two rak'ahs are not part of the sunnah of ihram, is that Muslims who enter ihram from their own miqats, such as Dhu al-Hulaifah, for example, and others where Muslims enter ihram, such as from near Riyadh, Ta'if, and the like, it is not recommended for them to pray anything called the two rak'ahs of ihram. Yes, the sunnah, if it is facilitated, is to enter ihram after an obligatory prayer that one has prayed in congregation. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did it. This prayer may be for some people, such as the people of Madinah, who are not travelers, so it may be complete for them, and they pray Zuhr as four rak'ahs. And it may be shortened for travelers, so in any case, it is an obligatory prayer, not a voluntary one. As for these two rak'ahs, it is incumbent upon you to strive to pray them in the blessed valley, namely the Valley of Dhul-Hulaifah...
