Performing Two Rakaats After Maghrib Adhaan

Question

Are we permitted to perform two Rakaats Tahiyyatul Masjid/ Wudhu, after the Maghrib Adhaan, according to the Hanafi Madhab?

Answer

With regards to performing two Rakaats after the Maghrib Adhaan, there are traditions that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and the Sahabah Radiallahu Anhum did not perform these Rakaats. However, according to the Hanafi Madhab, it is permissible to perform these two Rakaats, provided that it does not cause any unnecessary delay in the performance of the Maghrib Salaah. If it does cause unnecessary delay in the performance of the Maghrib Salaah, it will be Makrooh (disliked) to perform these Rakaats, since it is Mustahab (desirable) to hasten in the performance of the Maghrib Salaah.

However, if someone is in the Haramain where the Maghrib Salaah is delayed, then it is permissible to perform these two Rakaats as the delay is out of one’s control.
