Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it better for a person to pray four or two before the Zuhr prayer?
Answer:
Four before the Zuhr as a rawatib, with two taslims, is the best. This is the perfection, as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave off the four before the Zuhr.
Q: If he sometimes prays two?
The Shaykh: There is nothing wrong with that, but four is better. Stick to four.
