The ruling on the greeting prayer of the mosque during the prohibited times

The questioner : May Allah forgive you, Honorable Shaykh. How do we respond to the argument of those who say that the greeting of the mosque is not prayed, and their argument is based on the prohibition of

The Shaykh : What do you mean?

The questioner : the prohibition of the greeting of the mosque in the prohibited times. The prohibition kills it, the prohibition kills it, the prohibition kills it

The Shaykh : Yes, go on.

The questioner : regarding the prohibition of the greeting of the mosque in the prohibited times. How do we respond to their argument using the hadith of Ka'b ibn Malik's repentance, in which it is reported that he entered the mosque after the 'Asr prayer, sat down, and did not pray?

The Shaykh : Yes. This is strange talk. First of all, my brothers, it is well known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited prayer at certain times. The brother will list them for us. From when to when? From when to when? No one is to speak, everyone. Rest, please. No, that is wrong. That is one of the times, but we need the others. From the rising of the sun until it has risen the length of a spear, and not... The times are three, in brief: from the Fajr prayer until the sun has risen the length of a spear, meaning about a third or a quarter of an hour after it rises, from the Fajr prayer until it rises the length of a spear when it is standing, meaning if it is vertical, as the brother said, until it reaches its zenith, a span of ten minutes, not more.
Meaning, at the 'Adhan for the Zuhr prayer, about ten minutes before the 'Adhan for Zuhr, if the 'Adhan is called at the zenith. And the third is from the 'Asr prayer until its setting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited prayer in these times. But the Sunnah indicates that every prayer that has a cause is not prohibited; every prayer that has a cause is not prohibited. If a person circumambulates after 'Asr and prays two rak'ahs, is it permissible for him to pray two rak'ahs or not? It is permissible. Why? Because it has a cause, which is the circumambulation. If he enters the mosque after 'Asr, does he pray two rak'ahs or not? Why? Because it has a cause, which is entering the mosque. If the sun is eclipsed after 'Asr, does he pray the eclipse prayer or not? He prays. Why? Because the eclipse prayer has a cause, which is the solar eclipse. If a person performs wudu' after 'Asr, does he pray two rak'ahs?
Yes, because it has a cause, which is the wudu'. If something happens to him that requires istikhara without delay, he prays the istikhara. But if it can be delayed, let him delay it until the prohibited time passes. The important thing, my brothers, is the broad rule: every prayer that has a cause, what is the ruling? There is no prohibition on it. This is the rule. And as for the obligatory prayers, there is no prohibition on them. Meaning, if a person, after praying 'Asr, remembers that he prayed Zuhr without wudu', does he make it up after 'Asr? Yes, because there is no prohibition on the obligatory prayers at all.
