The ruling on performing an act of worship at a specific time for which no text has specified a time

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Shaykh Salih says: If the Shari'ah commands something in general terms, and then it is restricted to a specific time so that I do not forget it, is my action valid?

Answer:
A command is not restricted except by evidence. Nothing is limited to a specific time except by evidence. Otherwise, the default is that a command is to be acted upon immediately, unless there is evidence for delaying it or timing it for a specific period. Evidence is required for that. Yes.
