Praying two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer and after the is permissible. It is among the non-regular and non-emphasized prayers. This is supported by what Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Between every two adhans there is a prayer," and he said for the third time: "for whoever wishes." Muslim also narrated from Anas ibn Malik who said: "We were in Madinah, and when the muezzin called the adhan for the Maghrib prayer, they would hasten to the pillars and pray two rak'ahs."
