Engaging in Talks after Performing the Sunnah Mu' akkadah salaah

Q: Salaah-414: Will the Sunnah salaah be nullified if people engage in worldly talks after performing the Sunnah Mu'akkadah salaah before the Fajr and Zuhr salaahs? Will their rewards be diminished?

Answer: Although some Fuqahaa are of the opinion that engaging in worldly talks after performing the Sunnah Mu'akkadah salaah (and before the Fardh salaah) will nullify the salaah, the stronger opinion is that it would not. The rewards will however be reduced. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
