The ruling on the greeting of the mosque after the 'Asr prayer

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the greeting of the mosque after the 'Asr prayer?

Answer:
If a person enters the mosque intending to sit down after the 'Asr prayer, the scholars have differed on whether he should pray [the greeting of the mosque] in accordance with the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) , making the cause of it sitting in the mosque, and this covers the time of prohibition and other times?
Some scholars say no, he does not pray it during the time of prohibition, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade prayer after 'Asr until the sun sets, and after Fajr until the sun rises, and he forbade prayer when the sun is standing in the middle of the sky until it declines. So he does not pray it, giving precedence to the hadith of prohibition. This issue has strong disagreement among the scholars. In any case, the greeting of the mosque is not obligatory, it is not required, it is only recommended. If he prays it in accordance with the hadith, "When one of you enters the mosque," there is no harm. And if he does not pray it in accordance with the hadith of the one who forbade it, there is no harm. There is no blame on this one or that one. Yes.
