Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on praying two rak'ahs after the 'Asr prayer, as established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? And how do you reconcile this hadith with the hadithSunan Ibn Majah 1249Sahih (Darussalam)?
Answer:
The Messenger does not pray except for a reason. Or upon entering the mosque. So this is one of the reasons for voluntary prayer. The scholars differed regarding whether it is delayed during the prohibited time or not. Some said it is delayed when the reason is present. At what time? Upon entering the mosque. The matter is that it is not delayed, because the ProphetMuwatta Malik 15:50. Some scholars prioritized the prohibition, and some scholars prioritized the command. This is a matter of independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) in which you should ask the scholars.
