Omitting The Sunnah Muakkadah Salaah
Question
If a person leaves out Sunnah Salaah (e.g 4 Sunnah before Zuhr) is there any punishment for it?
Answer
The jurists have written that that one will be sinful for omitting a Sunnat (Sunnat-e-Muakkada) without a valid excuse. The exact nature of the punishment is known to Allah alone.
