The duration of the sun's transit during which prayer is prohibited

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the duration of the sun's transit during which prayer is prohibited?

Answer:
What is the transit? It is the time when the sun is directly overhead. This period is brief and does not allow for a prayer, as the jurists have said. So once the sun has passed its zenith, prayer becomes permissible.
Establish prayer at the decline of the sunأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ
[Al-Isra 17:78]
meaning the sun's transit. Yes.
