Is the two-rak'ah Sunnah prayer before Fajr obligatory, and is its performance required, or is it sufficient to pray two rak'ahs?

The two rak'ahs of Fajr are considered a Sunnah by most scholars and are not obligatory. The Malikis have two opinions regarding them: that they are a confirmed Sunnah (Sunnah Mu'akkadah) or a desirable act (raghibah), which is a rank below Sunnah but above a supererogatory act (nafilah). The Sunnah of Fajr consists of two rak'ahs, and it is necessary to specify the intention for the Sunnah of Fajr. The intention of a general supererogatory prayer is not sufficient; rather, there must be an intention to specify that it is the Sunnah of Fajr.
