Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I entered the mosque half an hour, or a quarter of an hour, before the Maghrib prayer. He asks: Should I pray the greeting of the mosque at that time?
Answer:
By Allah, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement. If you pray it, there is nothing wrong with it; and if you leave it, there is nothing wrong with it. This is because the evidence pulls in different directions, and there is disagreement among the scholars.
