Is the greeting of the mosque performed during the prohibited times?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the prohibited times, is the greeting of the mosque performed during the prohibited times?

Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement; because there is evidence for the greeting of the mosque, as it is one of the prayers with a cause, and His saying
(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
was not restricted to any specific time, whether in a prohibited time or otherwise. They said that this is one of the prayers with a cause that is performed when its cause is present. Some scholars gave precedence to the prohibition of prayer in the five times, so if one enters during one of the five times, he does not pray the greeting of the mosque, giving precedence to the side of prohibition. The issue has leeway, and praise be to Allah, so one does not disapprove of the one who prayed, nor does one disapprove of the one who prayed, nor does one disapprove of the one who sat and did not pray, because each of them has a possibility from the evidence. Yes.
