The Times of Prohibition of Prayer and the Greeting of the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, what are the times of prohibition? And if I want, for example, to pray the greeting of the mosque during one of these times, is that permissible?
Answer:
There are five times of prohibition: from the Fajr prayer until the sun rises; from its rising until it has risen to the height of a spear’s length; these are two. The third is from when the sun is directly overhead, above the heads, until it declines toward the west, when the time for the Zuhr prayer enters. The fourth is from the 'Asr prayer until the sun approaches setting, from its approaching setting until the fifth, which is until it sets. Regarding the greeting of the mosque, there is scholarly disagreement concerning the times of prohibition. Whoever prays it by taking the generality of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 1012Sahih (Darussalam), he prays two rak'ahs; this is general for all times, so he is not to be blamed or rebuked. And whoever sits, he is not to be rebuked, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited prayer in these times, and this includes, by its generality, voluntary prayer. Yes.
