The ruling on the two rak'ahs of wudu' and whether they are prayed during the prohibited times?

Question:
May Allah reward you. This sister, the questioner Umm Ibrahim, asks about the two rak'ahs of wudu'. She says: When are they prayed? Are they a sunnah? And are they prayed during the prohibited times?

Answer:
Yes, the sunnah prayer of wudu' is performed immediately after the wudu'. When one completes the wudu', it is recommended (mustahabb) for him to pray two rak'ahs, the sunnah of wudu'. These are among the prayers with a specific cause. Some scholars hold that they are performed even during the prohibited times, because the cause has occurred. When the cause occurs, the prayer attached to it is performed, such as the prayer of wudu', the funeral prayer, the prayer for an eclipse, and the two rak'ahs of tawaf. This is the view of a group of the most precise scholars of knowledge: that they are performed when their causes are present, even during the prohibited times. Another group held that they are not performed during the prohibited times, due to the generality of the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding prayer in these five times. Yes.
