Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh, he says: The prescribed matters for which the command was given in an absolute sense, if a Muslim restricts them to a specific time without worshipping that time itself, is that permissible for him?
Answer:
The prescribed matters. The prescribed matters are divided into two categories: time-bound matters, such as the five daily prayers, fasting in Ramadan, and Hajj; these are restricted to their specific times. As for absolute acts of worship, one may perform them whenever he wishes, except during the prohibited times, when one does not pray in the times in which prayer is forbidden. Yes.
