Performing four rakaats sunnah ghair muakkadah with one salaam

Q: For the four rakaats sunnah before isha, do we pray in pairs or four rakaats with one salam and for the four rakaats after esha is that in pairs or four rakaats with one salam and what intention do we make for these four rakaats?

A: They are better with one salaam. All these are ghayr muakkadah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
