Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
I thought that I had heard sometime ago that the sunnas mu’akadah after dhuhr are two. is there any basis for this in the Hanafi madhab, or are there definitely four, as you stated in a recent post?
Walaikum assalam,
The confirmed sunna after Zuhr is two rakats. It is recommended (mustahabb) to make it four rakats.
The confirmed sunna after the Friday prayer is four rakats. [Nur al-Idah, Tanwir al-Absar]
Wassalam,
