Four rakaats after Zuhr and Isha

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Great virtues are mentioned in the Ahadith for praying 4 rakaats after Zuhr and Isha.

Should one perform these apart from the confirmed 2 rakaats sunnah that are prayed after Zuhr and Isha i.e. first 2 rakaats and then 4 rakaats? And these 4 rakaats should they be prayed with one taslim or 2 by 2 rakaats?

Bismillaah

A: In our understanding it is the two sunnats and two nafls that come after the Zuhr and the nafl that may come after the sunnats of Esha.
