The ruling on the greeting of the mosque at sunset

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. After this, a message reached the program from the listener Sa'd 'Abd al-'Aziz Muhammad, an Egyptian residing in the Kingdom. He asks a collection of questions; in one of them, he asks about the ruling on the greeting of the mosque at sunset: is it permissible or not?

Answer:
This is a point of disagreement among the scholars; because the greeting of the mosque is one of the prayers with a cause; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said , so it is one of the prayers with a cause, performed when its cause is present at any time. This is the opinion of some scholars. Others held that it is not permissible to pray after 'Asr until the sun sets, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade prayer, specifically voluntary prayer, in this extended time, and this includes the greeting of the mosque and others.
And perhaps the stronger opinion, and Allah knows best, is the first opinion: that the prayers with a cause are performed when their causes are present, such as the eclipse prayer, the funeral prayer, the greeting of the mosque, and the two rak'ahs of tawaf. Yes.
