AL-KAFI #1113: SOLAT SUNAT SELEPAS ASAR
What is the ruling on performing voluntary prayers after the Asr prayer, given that some hadith report the Prophet doing so and others prohibit it?
Short answer
This fatwa favours the view that regularly praying two voluntary rakaat after Asr was a special privilege of the Prophet, and that it was in fact a make-up for the missed voluntary Zuhr prayer.

Summary
This fatwa favours the view that regularly praying two voluntary rakaat after Asr was a special privilege of the Prophet, and that it was in fact a make-up for the missed voluntary Zuhr prayer. A person is permitted to make up missed regular voluntary prayers after Asr, and also after Fajr. Voluntary prayers with a specific preceding cause, such as the wudhu prayer or the greeting prayer for the mosque, are also permitted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara tuntasnya, kami cenderung kepada pandangan yang menyatakan bahawa solat sunat dua rakaat selepas Asar secara berterusan merupakan salah satu khususiyyah Baginda Nabi SAW
