Summary
The two-rakaat prayer after performing ablution is recommended (sunnah), and its legitimacy is established by several hadiths. It is best performed immediately after finishing ablution, and the fatwa leans towards the view that it does not lapse until the person breaks their ablution. The prayer is also fulfilled by performing an obligatory prayer or another voluntary prayer of two or more rakaat, such as tahiyyatul masjid or the rawatib qabliyyah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat sunat wuduk adalah salah satu solat sunat yang disyariatkan dan tsabit sandarannya di sisi syarak berdasarkan beberapa nas dari Rasulullah S.A.W.
