The answer

It is not possible to pass judgment on the group mentioned. Muslims in Asia are predominantly Hanbali, and they may be so given that they pray four rak'ahs before 'Isha, which is recommended by the Hanafis. Voluntary prayers between the and are permissible, but performing voluntary prayers when the Iqamah for the congregational prayer has been called is not permissible, even according to the Hanafis. Those who deviate from the should be advised gently and wisely, with the Sunnah explained without causing aversion.
