Daily Nāfilah Prayers
Issue No.701- The daily nawāfil are as follow: Eight rak‘ats for ẓuhr prayer, eight rak‘ats for ‘aṣr prayer, four rak‘ats for maghrib prayer, two rak‘ats for ‘ishā’ prayer (offered in sitting posture), eleven rak‘ats of night prayer and two rak‘ats for fajr prayer and since the two rak‘ats of nāfilah for ‘ishā’ prayer are counted as one, the total number of the rak‘ats of these nawāfil is 34, but on Fridays the number of the rak‘ats of these nawāfil is 38 because four rak‘ats are added to the nāfilah of ẓuhr and ‘aṣr prayers. (All the recommended prayers are performed in two rak‘ats).
