The ruling on the greeting of the mosque and whether it is performed during the prohibited times?

Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Honorable Shaykh! This questioner asks about the greeting of the mosque: is it performed during the prohibited times? When is its time? And if it is not possible to perform it, is it dropped?

Answer:
The greeting of the mosque is a sunnah (recommended practice), not obligatory according to the majority. If one performs it outside the prohibited times, it is a recommended sunnah. As for the prohibited times, there is a difference of opinion among the scholars. If one prays it, there is no harm; if one leaves it, there is no harm, because both cases have support from the hadiths, and the scholars differ on this. Yes.
