The answer

Voluntary (nafila) prayers are similar to obligatory (fard) prayers in their rulings concerning pillars, recommended acts, and nullifiers. It is recommended to perform voluntary prayers in sets of two rak'ahs, based on the : "The prayer of the night and day is two by two." However, if one prays four rak'ahs continuously, it is permissible. Regarding the first , it is recommended by some scholars to raise the hands when standing for the third rak'ah.
