Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner is inquiring about the prayer after the obligatory Zuhr prayer and before it: is it permissible to pray four rak'ahs?
Answer:
The rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) are four before it with two taslims, and two after it. This is the rawatib that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to maintain. However, if he prays four after it, that is better; if he prays two after it with two taslims, that is better. This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 2:262 It was narrated by Imam Ahmad and the people of the Sunan with a valid isnad from Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her).
As for the rawatib, it is four before it and two after it. This is the rawatib that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was consistent in performing: two taslims before it and one taslim after it. However, whenever he prays two after it with two taslims, it is better due to the aforementioned hadith, which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 2:262 Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
