Nafl Prayers During the Day and Night
Other than the times mentioned above, one may offer as much nafl
prayers as one desires. During the day, one should offer nafl prayers in
units of two or four. It is makrūh to offer more than four rakāt
nafl at a time (ie. with one pair of salaams) during the day. At
night, it is permissible to make intention for performing up to six, or even
eight, rakāt at a time. To pray in batches greater than eight rakāt
at night is also makrūh and should not be done. [BZ p.110; KS;
also in Hidayah]
There are several nafl prayers which may be offered at specific
times during the day and night, in specific quantities. To be consistent in
performing such prayers will result in great reward. We will discuss these
various prayers in detail below.
