Title: About reading durood shareef in salah

Question: I want to know what is the ruling for the following in Hanafi fiqh: 1. Reciting durood Shareef in the 2nd rakah (which is not the last rakah) of a sunnat namaz/ghair muwakkidah /muwakkidah? 2. Reciting durood Shareef in the 2nd rakah of a fardh namaz (which is not the last rakah)? Some Ulama of the Hanbali and Shafi'i madhhab have said it is wajib to always recite durood after attahiyat in the namaz. So what does our Hanafi madhhab say?

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1142/1143/L=9/1438)

(1) One should not read durood after tashahhud in Sunnah muwakkidah salah; however it is allowable to read durood after tashahhud in sunnah ghair muwakkidah salah.

ولا يصلى على النبي صلى الله عليه سلم فى القعدة الأولى فى الأربع قبل الظهر والجمعة وبعدها .... وفى البواقى من ذوات الأربع يصلى على النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم الخ . (الدر المختار : 2/456 ط: زكريا ديوبند)

(2) It is mandatory to read only tashahhud in the first qa’dah of fardh salah and if someone reads by mistake up to “اللهم صل على محمد” then sajdah sahv shall be wajib on him.

ولا يزيد فى الفرض على التشهد فى القعدة الأولى أجماعا . (در مختار) وفى رد المحتار : وهو قول أصحابنا ومالك وأحمد .. قل الطحاوي : من زاد على هذا فقد خالف الإجماع . (الدر المختار مع رد المحتار : 2/220 باب صفة الصلاة).
