Question:
If we have missed the Sunnahs before the Fard Prayer because Jama for Fard prayer has started then can we pray the 2 Sunnah of Fajar, 4 of Zuhur, 4 of Asr and 4 of Isha after finishing with the Fard Jamah or its not correct to pray afterwards.
Answer:
Imam Abu Hanifa and Imam Malik (r.a.) are of the opinion that the Muqtadii is to do his best to perform Fajr Sunnah as long as he can complete it and join the Jama’ah of Fajr Fard before it ends – even if he caches only the last sitting. For all other daily prayers, once the Fard in Jam’ah begins, the Sunnah – if applicable – should be skipped and offered after Fard. Keep in mind that any salat after Asr accept Janazah is not permissible.
