The ruling on performing the greeting of the mosque during the prohibited times
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: If I enter the mosque at sunset, for example, ten minutes before the Maghrib adhan, is it permissible for me to perform the greeting of the mosque or not? This is a matter of disagreement among the scholars. Some hold that the greeting of the mosque is performed at any time because it is one of the prayers with a cause; when its cause is present, it is prescribed, just like the two rak'ahs of the i'tikaf,
Answer:
like the standing, meaning he prays the rak'ah, and like the eclipse prayer, which is prayed whenever the eclipse occurs, even in a prohibited time.
This is the opinion of some scholars. The other opinion says no; in the prohibited times, no voluntary prayers are performed, due to the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding that. The prohibition is general, whether in the mosque or elsewhere. Some scholars prioritized the generality of the prohibition, while others prioritized the generality of the command. This is called the conflict of two generalities. The issue remains balanced in the disagreement, so if one prays, he is not censured, and if one does not pray, he is not censured, because the issue is a matter of ijtihad, and neither opinion has been established as stronger than the other.
