Prayers with specific causes that are permissible during the prohibited times

The questioner:
What are the prayers with specific causes?

The Shaykh:
Prayers with specific causes are those tied to causes. When the cause occurs, the prayer is prescribed. For example, entering the mosque: if one intends to sit in the mosque, this is a cause for prayer, based on his saying . He made the cause entering the assembly with the intention of sitting in it. Likewise, the prayer for the eclipse has a cause. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When you see that of them, meaning the sun and moon, you see the eclipse of the sun or moon, pray and supplicate until it is cleared from you." So the cause of the prayer is the eclipse; when it occurs, the prayer is prescribed. Likewise, the sunnah of wudu: when a person performs wudu, it is recommended that he pray two rak'ahs because it has a cause, which is the wudu. So prayers with specific causes are those tied to causes; when these causes occur, the prayer is prescribed, and when they do not occur, the prayer is not prescribed.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
That tawaf: the two rak'ahs of tawaf are among the prayers with specific causes. Its cause is the tawaf. When a person circumambulates the House seven times, it is recommended for him to pray two rak'ahs at the Station of Ibrahim, or in any place in the Sacred Mosque.

The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. Is it only recommended to pray behind the Station of Ibrahim if it is facilitated?

The Shaykh:
That is what is recommended, based on His saying, the Exalted: . Following the action of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he prayed at the Station of Ibrahim, placing it between himself and the Ka'bah, and prayed two rak'ahs.
