Question:
Is it permissible for a person at any time to stand up and pray without the obligatory prayer, the obligatory sunnahs, and the voluntary prayers, meaning any prayer he intends to perform for the sake of Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
Her saying "the obligatory prayer and the voluntary prayer" is a mistake, because the voluntary prayer is not obligatory; rather, the obligatory one is the fard. So, all prayers other than the fard are voluntary. She may pray the voluntary prayers except in the five times in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade prayer. These are from after the dawn breaks, except for the two rak'ahs of Fajr, until the sun rises. When the dawn breaks, there is no voluntary prayer except for the two rak'ahs of Fajr that precede it. Until the sun rises, there is no voluntary prayer in any of this.
The second is when the sun is in the middle of the sky, directly overhead, until it moves toward the west. There is no prayer in this time, even if it is short.
The third is from after the 'Asr prayer until the sun sets. There is no voluntary prayer in any of this, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade prayer in these times. This is the summary, and as for the details. Yes. From the Fajr prayer until the sun appears, and from its appearance until it rises the height of a spear, these are two times.
The third is from the sun standing in the middle of the sky until it moves. The fourth is from the 'Asr prayer until the sun approaches setting.
The fifth is from its approach to setting until it sets. These are the times of prohibition in detail. And the scholars believe that there is a sixth time, which is from the breaking of dawn until the Fajr prayer is performed, except for the two rak'ahs of Fajr. Yes.
