Question:
A questioner asks: What are the times when voluntary prayer is not permissible, with details regarding the sunnah prayer after the Fajr prayer?
Answer:
Yes, the times when voluntary prayer is prohibited are three times in general terms. From the Fajr prayer until the sun has risen the height of a spear, this is one. As for if he missed the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) before Fajr, he may make them up after the Fajr prayer, even if it is in a time of prohibition, because evidence has come regarding this, where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying after the Fajr prayer, so he asked him, and he said that he had not performed the rawatib of Fajr, so he left him to do so. The second time is when the sun is standing in the middle of the sky, above the heads, until it moves toward the west, and a shadow appears from the east, even if it is small; this is a time of prohibition in which one does not pray. The third time is from the 'Asr prayer until the sun sets. Is this by consensus? In terms of detail, from the Fajr prayer until the sun rises, from the sun rising until it has risen the height of a spear, at the time of zawal (when the sun is at its zenith) until it moves, from the 'Asr prayer until the sun turns yellow, from the sun turning yellow until it disappears; these are five times. These are five times in detail. Yes.
