The ruling on the sunnah of wudu' during the prohibited times
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is there a sunnah called the sunnah of wudu'? And is it permissible for a Muslim to pray it after 'Asr and before Maghrib?
Answer:
Yes, there is a sunnah called the sunnah of wudu'. It is recommended for one who performs wudu' to pray two rak'ahs, the sunnah of wudu', as in the hadith of Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came upon Paradise and found Bilal ahead of him, having preceded him into Paradise. So what was the deed that Bilal had done? He said: O Messenger of Allah, I have nothing except that whenever I performed wudu', I would pray two rak'ahs after it. As for the fact that its cause is wudu', some scholars hold that it is performed during the prohibited times. And some scholars say that the prayer is in the time, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade prayer in the time.
So this negates the disagreement, and perhaps the stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that those with causes are performed when their causes are present, in any place.
