Prayer times are determined by the legal signs or by the calendars based on them. As for the supererogatory prayers you perform, they represent the minimum amount for the emphasized regular prayers (Rawatib). The most complete form of these Sunnah prayers consists of eighteen rak'ahs, which are: two rak'ahs before Fajr, four before Dhuhr and four after it, two rak'ahs after Maghrib, two rak'ahs after Isha, and four before Asr. It is recommended to perform the (salutation) after every two rak'ahs in the four-rak'ah supererogatory prayers.
