Question

I just want to ask if after adhan of dhuhr there is four rakats of sunnatul muakadah right? Then the others are dividing it into two salams and on the other hand some are performing it like they are performing a salah, they pray sunnatul muakadah with only 1 salam. I follow Abu Hanifa.

Answer

According to the Hanafi Mazhab the four rakaats Sunnat-e-Muakkadah which is performed before the fardh of zuhr should be performed with salaam at the end.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Which sunnah salaah are emphasised (muakkadah)?

“Sunnah Salaah should not be unduly missed during a journey. However, if the Musaafir is in a hurry then, apart from the Sunnah of Fajr, it will be permissible for him to omit the other Sunnah Salaahs.”
