Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned the permissibility of greeting the mosque during the prohibited times, considering that the command to greet the mosque is stronger than the prohibition of prayer during the prohibited times, and that is

The questioner: Regarding, I mean, Ibn Taymiyyah spoke about the issue of the one who enters the mosque: does he pray the greeting of the mosque or not? So he said here.

The Shaykh : ...

The questioner: He speaks about this issue: does he pray or not?

The Shaykh : When, when?

The questioner: If he enters the mosque during the prohibited times.

The Shaykh : We said.

The questioner: The intended meaning is during the prohibited times: and here in the hadiths.

The Shaykh: ... Okay.

The questioner: Here in the hadiths, there is a prohibition of prayer during these times.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner: And these are prohibitive.

The Shaykh: Correct.

The questioner: And there are hadiths that command prayer at this time, and these are commanding. So he said that in such a place, we look at which one is the specifier. If one of the two, I mean, in what specifies it, then the other is stronger of the two.

The Shaykh: Correct.

The questioner: So when he looked into this issue, he found, for example, that the man who entered during the Fajr prayer and prayed the Sunnah of Fajr after the Fajr prayer, and the man who came late to the congregational prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: , and said: . So his statement that this prohibition contains, I mean, specification, makes the command here stronger than it. So here in the hadiths regarding Saturday, there came what specifies them from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ...

The Shaykh: Excuse me, why is the command stronger?

The questioner: Because there is no specification here for it.

The Shaykh : Why?

The questioner: As for the prohibition, it has specification.

The Shaykh: Okay, fine.

The questioner: So regarding fasting on Saturday, the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came when he said to the woman , likewise fasting and breaking the fast on a day, likewise that he , so this indicates the specification of Saturday, and thereby, I mean, this prohibition is specified, and the command is on permissibility. What do you think?

The Shaykh: Why not the opposite, and you have heard the answer just now.

The questioner : How?

The Shaykh: I mean, the prohibitive takes precedence over the permissive.

The questioner: We said the prohibitive here, I mean, in what specifies it.

The Shaykh: This specification, when it is like the example you brought, he prohibited prayer in the five times.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Correct, okay, he commanded prayer in one of the five times, this specification is clear and it cannot be otherwise, but here there is nothing of this clear explanation.

The questioner: He said to the woman: .

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner: I mean, she is fasting Friday ... Saturday.

The Shaykh: Understood, understood, but the original fasting, the original fasting, this is voluntary, not obligatory. I mean, to fast on Thursday is voluntary, and to follow it with Friday is also voluntary, it does not go beyond that.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: And to follow it, if he wishes, with all of Saturday, is voluntary.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: And therefore, when the text of the hadith came: , this is a prohibitor and a barrier from one side, and from another side, it is extremely abhorrent that the text of the hadith is like this, so the one who tries to reconcile in some way adds: , or if you add a day before it or a day after it, yes, this is as if it is a correction of the expression of the Lawgiver when He said: , so He excepted the obligatory ones and did not except the voluntary ones, and that is voluntary.

The questioner: When he said: Do not fast on Saturday, he specified Saturday only, I mean, the prohibition of fasting on Saturday is for itself, but when he said to the woman, do you fast a day.

The Shaykh: No, the research was not about fasting on Saturday, the research was about fasting on Friday.

The questioner: No, I mean Saturday.

The Shaykh: Fasting on Friday, not Saturday.

The questioner: Now, if one wants to fast on Friday and fast with it Saturday.

The Shaykh: No, he does not fast after this prohibitive, preventing hadith came, but I tell you that the hadith was not about fasting on Saturday, fasting on Saturday came incidentally, and the research was about fasting on Friday when the Messenger (peace be upon him) said to her: , so the intention was focused on the prohibition of fasting on Friday, the dispensation came for the one who wants to fast on Friday to fast a day before it or a day after it, this is a dispensation and that is a prohibitor and barrier, so the prohibitive takes precedence over the permissive, therefore the example you presented quoting Ibn Taymiyyah, it is in reality from the fiqh of Ibn Taymiyyah, and thereby many of the contradictions between the texts are removed, but that does not apply at all in what we are dealing with, because there is a command and there is a prohibition, how to reconcile? Look at which of the two general texts had its generality weakened, then apply the general text whose generality was not weakened to the text whose generality was weakened, as a command and a prohibition here, there is nothing of that at all, here there is a prohibitive and a permissive, so our answer was what we mentioned just now, please.
