Is it possible to perform the regular Sunnah prayers (Sunan al-Rawatib) after Dhuhr at a later time at home, and does this entail the reward mentioned in the Hadith: "Whoever maintains four Rak'ahs before Dhuhr and four after it, Allah will forbid him from the Fire"?

The 's Essence:
Whoever misses the post-Dhuhr prayer until the 'Asr prayer time enters may perform it as a make-up prayer according to some scholars, and this is the more preponderant view. Others hold the opinion that it should not be made up if its time has passed, unless there is a valid excuse. As for someone who deliberately leaves it until its time has passed, they should not make it up.
