Re: Namaz rakats
**nafil is JUST nafil…u get sawaab if you do and no sawab if you do NOT…it’s NOT mandatory. it’s upto you to do or NOT to do.
sunnat are of 2 types…sunnat-e-mo’akkidah and sunnat-e-Ghair mo’akkidah [moa’kkidah = important]..the following sunnat are sunnat e mu’akkida. u can ONLY omit while traveling, if u r sick, or u have something very important to do which can NOT be delayed like catching a dlight…preparing dinner is deffo NOT a valid reason to skip sunnat namaazeN.
you are supposed to do the following minimums:
fajr 4 [2 farz + 2 sunnat]
zohr 10 [4 sunnat + 4 farz + 2 sunnat]
asr 4 [4 farz]
maGhrib 5 [3 farz + 2 sunnat]
ishaa 9 [4 farz + 2 sunnat + 3 witr {witr is wajib and is almost as important as farz]**
