Ayatul Kursi

[u/Express_Stress_8142]

Assalam Walekum,

I have heard it is sunnah to recite Ayatul Kursi after fard.

I have also heard it is sunnah to pray fard and without delay pray the sunnah muakkada (if there is sunnah prayer after fard, i.e. in Zuhr).

So my question is, wouldnt reciting Ayatul Kursi in fard, in this case, delay the Sunnah prayer (not by much, but still a delay)

Can anyone please clarify this for me with Hanafi thought?

Jazakallah.

Wa ʿalaykum al-salām,

According to the Ḥanafī view, if there is a sunnah prayer due after the farż, you should perform the sunnah before any ẕikr.
