The ruling on praying the greeting of the mosque during a time of dislike?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on praying the greeting of the mosque after the 'Asr prayer and during the times of dislike?

Answer:
This is a matter of disagreement among the scholars. If one enters the mosque during one of the times of prohibition in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade prayer—after 'Asr, after Fajr, and when the sun is at its zenith—this is where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade voluntary prayer. Some scholars took this prohibition as their basis and forbade voluntary prayer, including the greeting of the mosque, if one enters during a time of prohibition. Other scholars took the generality of his statement
(ﷺ) said: "When one of you enters a mosque, he must not sit until he prays two Rak'ah."صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخل أحدكم المسجد فلا يجلس حتى يصلي ركعتين
Bulugh al-Maram 2:138
Some took the generality of the command, and some took the generality of the prohibition. This is a case of conflicting generalities according to the specialists in legal theory. Therefore, the issue is one of disagreement. One should not criticize the one who prays the greeting of the mosque during a time of prohibition, nor the one who sits, because each has a point of view. Yes.
