Sunnah of Asr Prayer

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Asalaamualaykum

Id just like to enquire, if i am a bit late for asr salaah, and can only read the 4 fard of asr, can i read the 4 sunnah afterwards as it is allowed for zohr?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

No, it is probitively disliked and sinful to perform any sunna or nafl prayers after performing the obligatory Asr prayer, because of the explicit Prophetic prohibition against doing so.

See:

It is Disliked to Pray the Sunna of Wudu & Other Non-Obligatory Prayers During the Disliked
