Voluntary prayer before the Maghrib adhan and the prohibited times

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We saw you, may Allah raise your ranks, in the previous session. You stood for five minutes or more before the Maghrib adhan and did not perform voluntary prayer. Then, when a nearby mosque called the adhan, you stood up and performed voluntary prayer, even though the mu'adhdhin here was already calling the adhan. We ask for clarification on this, as it has confused some of us.

Answer:
Yes, if one enters a prohibited time, he does not pray. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited prayer after the 'Asr prayer until the sun sets, after the Fajr prayer until the sun rises to the height of a spear, and when the sun is at its zenith in the middle of the sky until it declines. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited voluntary prayer in these times. So you wait until the sun sets. When you hear a mu'adhdhin, even if it is not the mosque you are in, the sun has set. At that time, you perform the voluntary prayer as the greeting of the mosque.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
