The Ruling on the Greeting of the Mosque in the Times of Prohibition

Question:
He says: If a person comes to the mosque at a time when prayer is disliked, does he pray?

Answer:
You mean the greeting of the mosque? Yes. This is a point of disagreement among the scholars. Some prioritize the general command to pray when one intends to sit in the mosque, while others generalize the prohibition of prayer in the times of prohibition. This is a conflict of two general rulings, which the specialists in legal theory call a conflict of two generals. Some generalize the prohibition in the times of prohibition, while others generalize the command in all times. The stronger position is that there is no barrier to praying the greeting of the mosque in the times of prohibition, because it is one of the prayers with a cause, which is performed when its cause is present. Yes, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you enters the mosque," meaning at any time? This is general. Yes.
