Is the prayer of the awabin six rak'ahs after Maghrib?

Question:
The listening sister, Nadiya 'Abd al-Salam, sent a question saying: Is the prayer of the awabin valid? Is it six rak'ahs after the Maghrib prayer?

Answer:
This is not valid and not established; however, it is recommended to pray between Maghrib and 'Isha', even if it is more than six rak'ahs, but it is not called the prayer of the awabin. The prayer of the awabin is the Duha prayer. When the Duha becomes intense, the prayer at that time is called the prayer of the awabin. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning: when the heat becomes intense in the morning. So this is the prayer of the awabin. And the Duha prayer when the heat is intense, meaning: when the day is high, one or two hours before the sun reaches its zenith, is called the prayer of the awabin.
As for what is between Maghrib and 'Isha', the hadith regarding calling it the prayer of the awabin is weak. However, it is recommended for the believer, male and female, to pray what Allah has made easy for them, other than the Sunnah of Maghrib. As for the Sunnah of Maghrib, it is a confirmed Sunnah, two rak'ahs after Maghrib. And if one prays an additional two rak'ahs, or four rak'ahs, or six rak'ahs, or ten rak'ahs, it is all good. Everything between the Maghrib prayer and 'Isha' is a place for worship, and even if one prays a lot, it is all voluntary. Likewise, after 'Isha', everything is a place for voluntary prayer, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
