What is the ruling of combining Fardh Salat with the Sunna Salat after making wudu?

[Slave-Of-Allah]

Can you combine Fardh Salat with the Sunnah Salat after making wudu?
What is the ruling of the Shafii school on this?

[Abbe]

Even if the amount of rakats are not the same ?, example 4 rakat of dhur combined with the 2 rakat of wudu ?

[Abbe]

Yes, and even 3 raka's of Maghrib.

[SASLAMS]

Yes, and even 3 raka's of Maghrib.

what about combining. muakadah with fardh. like the rawaatib with the fardh. & the muakadah for isha with taraweeh or taraweeh with witr.

That wouldnt be allowed. Its only valid to combine prayers that "arent sought for them selves" (gayr maqsuda li dhatiha)

[SASLAMS]

I dont understand clearly. so you cannot do this with the rawatib & a fardh or witr & another muakadah as taraweeh. but you may with tahiyyah

br Abbe can I mail you on a seperate issue.

[Abbe]

Yes, some prayer are not sought for them selves. When we enter a mosque we are supposed to pray before we sit down. It doesnt matter what prayer we pray, the important thing is to pray any prayer (at least two raka') before sitting down. So in reality tahiyyat al-masjid isnt a specific prayer, the same thing can be said about istikhara, salat al-wudu and other prayers (i will post a list later in sha Allah). The rawati on the other hand are specific prayers that cant be replaced with anything else.

Yes, you can mail if you want to.

[Abbe]

These prayers can be combined with others:

1. the prayer of greeting the mosque,
2. the two rak‘ahs after circumambulation (Ar. tawaf),
3. the two rak‘ahs of ihram,
4. the post-wudu sunnah [m: prayer],
5. the prayer of heedlessness (Ar. ghaflah), which is offered between maghrib and isha ([m: also known as salatul-awwabeen]),
6. the guidance prayer (Ar. istikhara),
7. the prayer of need (Ar. hajah),
8. the zenith prayer (Ar. zawal),
9. the prayer upon returning from a journey,
10. the prayer before embarking upon a journey, and
11. the prayer of repentance (Ar. tawbah).

It is permissible to combine all the above prayers in two units of prayer by intending them all. It is [m: also] permissible to combine all or some of the above with an obligatory prayer or an optional prayer, such as a ratibah [1] or the forenoon prayer (Ar. duha). However, it is not permissible to combine two obligatory prayers or an obligatory prayer with a ratibah, as mentioned in the question. Nor is it permissible to combine one ratibah with another, nor a ratibah with the forenoon prayer, witr, or taraweeh.
