Is it permissible to miss Sunnat Namaz due to work commitments?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Please guide me in light of Quran & Hadith. Is it OK, if I leave/not offer all Sunnat Namaz regularly in Zuhr, Asr & Maghrib because of any work commitment (Job etc.)? Is it mandatory to offer all Sunnat Namaz of Jumuah, Zuhr?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 870/697/SN=8/1439)

Four rakah before and two rakah after Zuhr, two rakah after Maghrib and 4-4 rakah before and after Jumuah are sunnah muwakkidah. It is not right to develop the habit of missing them due to job.

وفى فتاوى الفضيلي: وإذا استاجر رجلاً يوماً يعمل كذا فعليه أن يعمل العمل إلى تمام المدة ولا يشتغل بشيئ آخر سوى المكتوبة وفى فتاوى سمرقند وقد قال بعض مشائخنا : له أن يؤدي السنة ايضاً واتفقوا أنه لا يؤدى نفلاً وعليه الفتوى (در مختار مع الشامى 9/ 96، ط: زكريا)
