As-Salamu Alaikum,

As far as I have ever learned there are no rakats before the fard of Maghrib. I have been on safari lately, a several masjids which I have visited had numerous individuals preforming two rakats after the Maghrib Azan was called. It must be something outside the Ahl Sunna wa Jaamat.

Walikum-us-salam.

It is makrooh (disliked) to pray 2 rakats before the Maghrib salah according to the ahnaaf. That's why it is also disliked to have a long gap between the Maghrib azaan and salah, in which a person can offer 2 rakats.

However the salafi brothers do offer these 2 rakats, and we differ with them on this issue.
