Supposedly, A CFI (without CFII) had received his MEI rating. However, he wishes to have an add-on rating with CFII.
Now, does he requires to do Instrument approaches in Multi-Engine so as to receive his CFII?

If 'yes' to the above question, what are the reasons for doing so?

If 'not encouage', why?
