Splitting the sunnats before zuhr salaah
Question
Suppose I come to the masjid and I have little time before zuhr jamaat to pray the 4 sunnah muakkadah. Can I pray 2 unit rakah before fardh and 2 after fardh so that I can join the jamaat or the 4 units cannot be split?
Answer
No. All four should be together.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.

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.”
