Greeting the mosque during the prohibited times: What is its ruling?

Question : The questioner says: What is the ruling on greeting the mosque during the prohibited times?

Answer : Greeting the mosque means praying two rak'ahs when one enters the mosque before sitting down. It is a confirmed sunnah.
The evidence for its confirmation is that a man entered on a Friday while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon. So he sat down, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Did you pray? He said: No. He said: Stand up and pray two rak'ahs. This indicates their confirmation because being occupied with the prayer of two rak'ahs necessitates not listening to the sermon, and listening to the sermon is obligatory, so these two rak'ahs would be obligatory. Some scholars held this view, but what I lean toward is that greeting the mosque is not obligatory, but it is a confirmed sunnah.
And is it performed during the prohibited times, such as if one enters the mosque after the 'Asr prayer or after the Fajr prayer? In this matter, I prefer the view of the scholars. Some of them said: Do not pray during the prohibited times. And some of them said: They are prayed. The correct view is that they are prayed if one enters the mosque during the prohibited times.
And all voluntary prayers, if they have a cause, are permissible during the prohibited times. May Allah bless you.
