What is the ruling on praying voluntary prayers during the prohibited times?

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on praying voluntary prayers during the prohibited times?

Answer:
A purely voluntary prayer is not permissible during the prohibited times. As for a voluntary prayer that has a specific cause, the scholars have differed on this. Some of them permitted it during the prohibited times, such as the greeting of the mosque, the funeral prayer, and the prayer of wudu, which have causes. They also mentioned the eclipse prayer, which has a cause. They say that it is performed when its cause occurs, regardless of the time. Other scholars say, "No, these are prohibited times, and no voluntary prayer is performed in them, whether it has a cause or not, due to the generality of the prohibition." Thus, the matter is balanced, and the disagreement is balanced, because each of the two positions has strong evidence. So, if one performs it, there is no blame on him, and if he leaves it, there is no blame on him. Yes.
