The Time for Performing the Morning and Evening Dhikr

Question:
When the time for the Maghrib prayer arrives, is it permissible to recite Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat, if one has intended to combine the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers? Will he be credited with the reward for the morning and evening dhikr if he did not recite them, or is it necessary to recite them? We ask for a detailed answer. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The Sunnah is to perform the prescribed dhikr and supplications in the morning and evening, whether one combines the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers or not. The Sunnah is to perform the prescribed dhikr before the prayers, or to perform them after the prayers, such as in the 'Asr prayer, or at night, or after the combined prayer. The matter is broad—praise be to Allah—if one prays Maghrib and combines 'Isha' with it, provided he has a need to combine them because he is traveling.
As for one who is resident and settled, it is better not to combine them. He prays Maghrib, performs the prescribed dhikr afterwards, prays 'Isha' at its time, and performs the prescribed dhikr. Likewise for the Dhuhr and 'Asr prayers. If the need arises to combine them, he combines them, then performs the prescribed dhikr of the second prayer after it, and the dhikr of the first prayer is dropped. He performs the prescribed dhikr after the second prayer. Likewise, whatever belongs to the evening routine of dhikr, he performs it either before the combination or after the combination. And likewise in the morning, he performs the prescribed dhikr after the Fajr prayer, or after the sun rises. Yes.
