Question

I have missed my 4 rakats pre sunnath of Zuhr prayer as I went a bit late to Masjid. After the Zuhr Fard prayer in congregation, Whether I have to perform the 4 rakats pre sunnath kazha first or the 2 rakats post sunnath ?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Both procedures are permissible. However, it is preferable to perform the two rakats Sunnah first, then the four rakats Sunnats.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
