If you enter the mosque between the 'Asr and Maghrib prayers, do I sit or do I pray two rak'ahs?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: If I come to the lesson between the 'Asr and Maghrib prayers, do I sit immediately without praying two rak'ahs, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of prayer at this time? And if I persist in doing so, is there anything required of me?

Answer:
If there is sufficient time for the prayer, this is a matter of scholarly disagreement. It is a matter of scholarly disagreement. If you sit, you have a precedent (Salaf) for this and you have evidence. If you pray, you have a precedent (Salaf) for this and you have evidence. So one does not criticize the one who sits, nor the one who prays, if there is sufficient time. However, if the time is short, near the adhan, do not stand [to pray] until the adhan is called, and then you pray. This takes you out of the disagreement. Yes.
