The Time of the Evening Dhikr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on the evening adhkar (remembrance of Allah)? Are they recited after the 'Asr prayer, before the sun sets, after the adhan, or after the Maghrib prayer? And if one forgets them and does not recite them, when should they be recited?

The Shaykh:
The evening adhkar are recited in the evening. They may be recited after the 'Asr prayer, after the Maghrib prayer, or before the sun sets; all of these times are considered the evening. However, it is better to recite them at the end of the day. So, delaying them until the end of the day is better.

The questioner:
If the Shaytan is pleased.

The Shaykh:
If you forget them and want to recite them, there is no harm. You may recite them at any time, because they are a remembrance of Allah the Exalted, and remembrance of Allah is sought at all times.
