Assalamualaikum
Muslimah i think you need to ask the brother first which imam he follows , or whether or not he follows an imam, before you tell him how to perform his sunnats and wajibs for isha,
To answer waheeds questions.
"when you perform Isha salat can you avoid praying First Four Rakat Sunnat Ghair Mokadda and three rakat wajib.
how should you preform Isha salat
once again i am getting confuse messages so i need to clarify which mansum are you following ie Hanfiy or shaify"
When you say can u "avoid" praying first 4 sunnat ghair mokadda. well basically no, if its out of laziness then no, if ur at work and restricted with time then u r allowed to miss it.
You should think of ur sunnats and nafl as valuable , for example take your iman as being like a castle, the king will build a wall around it to protect it , he will then build another wall around that as well , then another wall. when u only pray your fard salat it is like just having one wall around ur iman protecting u from satan , but if u pray ur sunnats , nafl , do zikr , etc then u r building more walls around ur iman to protect urself from satan.
As to ur question about the "3" wajib salats after ur fard prayer , it again depends which imam u follow, as for me i follow imam Abu hanifa, and so i pray 3 rakats , if u want to know how to pray 3 wajibs after isha for those that follow imam abu hanifa then u can pm me.
