The ruling on greeting the mosque after the second adhan of Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
May Allah reward you with good, O honorable Shaykh! After the second adhan of the Fajr prayer, is it permissible for a person to pray the greeting of the mosque, or should he pray only the regular voluntary prayer?
If a person enters the mosque after the Fajr adhan and wants to pray, if there is ample time in the hour, he should pray the greeting of the mosque first, then the regular voluntary prayer. If there is not ample time in the hour, he should pray the regular voluntary prayer, which suffices for the greeting of the mosque. This is the stronger position, based on the fact that the prohibited time does not begin until after the Fajr prayer.As for the opinion of some scholars, they say: The prohibition begins from the moment the dawn breaks, so they do not allow you to pray the greeting of the mosque.And they say: They consider it a regular voluntary prayer; because they do not allow voluntary prayer after the prohibited time enters, even if there is a reason for it. But the stronger position is what we mentioned first. And if he limits himself to the regular voluntary prayer while there is ample time, there is nothing wrong with that.
Interjection: What is meant by the "raghibah," O Shaykh?The Shaykh: He means the raghibah.Meaning: The regular voluntary prayer. They call the regular voluntary prayer the raghibah, and this appears to be African usage.
