"Should You Pray 4 Rak’ahs Before ‘Asr Daily? Scholar Clarifies!"

Описание: In this video, we explore an important question many Muslims ask: Should we maintain the 4 rak'ahs before ‘Asr on a daily basis?

There are many Sunnah prayers taught by the Prophet ﷺ—some are emphatic (mu’akkadah), such as the 12 daily Sunnah rak’ahs that promise a house in Jannah, and others are non-emphatic (ghayr mu’akkadah), which the Prophet ﷺ recommended but did not consistently perform.

The discussion focuses on the extra Sunnah prayers before ‘Asr and additional rak’ahs after Dhuhr, which some scholars say should not be prayed daily because the Prophet ﷺ did not perform them regularly. Other scholars argue that the Prophet ﷺ encouraged these prayers—especially through the hadith:
“May Allah have mercy upon a person who prays four rak’ahs before ‘Asr.”

In this video, we break down:

✔️ The difference between emphatic and non-emphatic Sunnah
✔️ Why some scholars discourage praying the 4 rak'ahs before ‘Asr daily
✔️ Why others encourage maintaining it every single day
✔️ The meaning of the Prophet’s ﷺ recommendation
✔️ What is considered the strongest and most authentic opinion

We also explore examples such as Hajj and ‘Umrah to explain why the Prophet ﷺ not performing something regularly does not mean it should be avoided.

By the end of this talk, you will understand whether praying the 4 rak'ahs before ‘Asr daily is recommended, optional, or discouraged—and what the scholars of the Ummah have concluded.
