A man entered the mosque before Maghrib and prayed the greeting of the mosque, so one of them objected to him and said, "Leaving the prohibited is better"

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man entered the mosque about half an hour before the adhan for Maghrib and prayed two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque. One of the people sitting there objected to him and said that leaving the prohibited is better than doing the recommended. Is his objection correct?

Answer:
It is not appropriate to object, but one should explain to him that this is a time of prohibition, that this is a time of prohibition. If he had sat down, that would have been better. As for objecting, one might say, "You did something forbidden, you did something prohibited." No, that is not permissible. There is strong disagreement in this issue: does the prohibition take precedence so that he sits, or does the command take precedence? "When one of you enters the mosque, let him not sit until he prays two rak'ahs." There is strong disagreement in this issue, so one should not say, "You did something prohibited." Rather, one should say, "You did what is contrary to what is best," according to the evidence that prohibits prayer in the time of prohibition. This should be done gently and through understanding, not with harshness. Or yes.
