Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner from al-Bahah asks: If a person forgets the morning and evening adhkar, or is preoccupied with them, and then remembers them later, for example the evening adhkar, should he recite them before sleeping or after the Maghrib prayer? And what is the specific time for the morning and evening adhkar?
Answer:
The morning adhkar are recited after the Fajr prayer or after the dawn breaks, and the evening adhkar are recited before the sun sets at the end of the day, or after the Maghrib prayer. Yes. If a person is delayed, he recites them after the Maghrib prayer, and it is better to recite them before the sun sets. If their time is missed, they are not made up, but he should remember Allah the Exalted with the general adhkar. Because it is required of a person to remember Allah and to increase in the remembrance of Allah other than in the morning and evening. Yes. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Anfal 8:45] The men and women who remember Allah. He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: [Al-Ahzab 33:35] The men and women who remember Allah. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3375Hasan (Darussalam) The Muslim remembers Allah. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah in all his states. A person should remember Allah and not be heedless of the remembrance of Allah at any time. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, Honorable

وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًاLet not your tongue cease to be moist with the remembrance of Allah.
لا يزال لسانك رطبا من ذكر الله
