The ruling on greeting the mosque during the prohibited times

The questioner:
Is it permissible to pray upon entering the mosque, even if it is a time of prohibition?

The Shaykh:
That is, the prayer of greeting the mosque.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
There is scholarly disagreement regarding the prayer of greeting the mosque during the prohibited times. The disagreement is whether it falls under the general prohibition or under the general command in his saying: ? This is what the scholars of jurisprudence call the conflict of two general rulings. Whoever prioritizes the general prohibition says one does not pray during the prohibited times. Whoever prioritizes the general command says one prays the greeting of the mosque. They say this is one of the acts with a cause, which is performed when its cause is present, at any time. This is the stronger position, but one does not disapprove of the one who sits and does not pray. Yes. Allah is the Greatest. I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah. I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Greeting of peace. The prayer. There is no deity but Allah. A Hindu worshipper.
