Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner asks: What are the times of prohibition? And regarding the greeting of the mosque before the Maghrib prayer, is it before the adhan or after? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
The times of prohibition are from the Fajr prayer until the sun has risen the height of a spear, and when it is at its zenith in the middle of the sky above the heads until it declines toward the west, and after the 'Asr prayer until the sun sets. These are the times of prohibition. Is there more to the question?
The questioner:
And regarding the greeting of the mosque before the Maghrib prayer, is it before the adhan or after it?
The Shaykh:
The greeting of the mosque has no connection to Maghrib. If you enter the mosque and wish to sit in it, you pray two rak'ahs. It is recommended that you pray two rak'ahs, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1167. Yes.
