Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner asks: Is the sunnah prayer performed inside the Hijr during the prohibited times?

Answer:
The sunnah of tawaf. Yes, the sunnah of tawaf is that whoever performs tawaf around the House prays two rak'ahs at any time. There are no prohibited times for them. The two rak'ahs of tawaf are prayed at any time because they are connected to the tawaf; so whenever a person performs tawaf, he prays two rak'ahs at any time. As for the location, if he prays at the Station of Ibrahim, that is better. Allah the Exalted said:
And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى
[Al-Baqarah 2:125]
And because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he performed tawaf around the House, prayed two rak'ahs at the Station of Ibrahim, acting upon this verse. And if he prays it at the Hijr, there is no harm. Or if he prays it in any place in the mosque or in the Haram, there is no harm in that.
