The Ruling on Prayers with a Specific Cause during the Prohibited Times
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Peace be upon you! Your Eminence, the Shaykh: Is it permissible for a person to pray the greeting of the mosque during the prohibited times?
If a person enters the mosque, he should pray two rak'ahs before sitting, whenever he enters; because there is no prohibition regarding the greeting of the mosque.Rather, I say: Every voluntary prayer that has a cause is not prohibited. Praying two rak'ahs after tawaf is permissible at any time because it has a cause. The sunnah of wudu' is that when a person performs wudu', it is recommended for him to pray two rak'ahs, and he should strive not to engage in idle talk during them; this is permissible at all times. The prayer of istikharah for a matter that will be missed before the prohibited time ends is permissible during the prohibited time.
The important rule is: That every voluntary prayer that has a cause is not prohibited.
