The ruling on prayer in the times when it is prohibited.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : From the jurisprudential perspective, regarding our current issue, it is clear. [Al-A'raf 7:204], Are there any cases where a person does not listen and it is permissible for him to play while the Qur'an is being recited? Never. Likewise, his saying (peace be upon him) in the previous hadith: Sunan an-Nasa'i 921Sahih (Darussalam), no restriction entered it because it aligns with the verse. So here, two general statements conflict: the general statement: , and the general statement: , with [Al-A'raf 7:204]. The restricted general statement is qualified by the unrestricted general statement.
For example, for the sake of benefit: Many people find it difficult when they enter the mosque during a time of dislike; do they pray the greeting of the mosque or not? He entered a few minutes before the sun sets; does he pray the greeting or not? Naturally, there is disagreement on this issue, but our aim now is how to reconcile:Sahih Muslim 827. So you entered the mosque for some reason after the Fajr prayer; do you pray the greeting or not? It has been said this way and that, and we have nothing on this. If you say: I will not pray, holding to this hadith, another hadith comes to you: Sahih al-Bukhari 1167; so what do you do? The great scholars whose words we have read on this subject were unable to solve the problem except Ibn Taymiyyah specifically, and al-Hafiz al-Iraqi generally, where he mentioned the rules. One of these rules was what I mentioned earlier; namely: if a general proof is subjected to specification, its generality weakens, whereas a general proof that has not been subjected to specification remains strong in its generality. The strong prevails over the weak, so the matter becomes: no prayer after the Fajr prayer until the sun rises, and no prayer after the 'Asr prayer until the sun sets, except—in an exception—except, there are many and very many exceptions; for example: a man enters the mosque while the imam is praying the Fajr prayer, and he had not prayed the greeting—excuse me—the pre-Fajr sunnah. Allah is the Greatest, the imam said the taslim; is it permissible for him to stand up and pray the Fajr sunnah that he missed? The answer: Yes. What did we do with Jami` at-Tirmidhi 419Da'if (Darussalam)? We restricted it; because the Messenger (peace be upon him) saw a man stand up to pray after the Messenger (peace be upon him) had said the taslim from the Fajr prayer, and he said: . After he prayed, he said: O Messenger of Allah, I entered the mosque while you were in prayer, and I had not prayed the sunnah; this is the sunnah. So he (peace be upon him) remained silent. The scholars took the exception of this incident from Jami` at-Tirmidhi 419Da'if (Darussalam), and likewise after the 'Asr.
There are many hadiths, among them: a hadith in the Muwatta of Imam Malik that the Messenger (peace be upon him) prayed the Fajr prayer in the Musjid al-Khaif during the Farewell Pilgrimage. When he said the taslim, he found two men from a distance whose state indicated that they had not prayed with the congregation. So he called them and said to them:. They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 858Sahih (Darussalam). They said: O Messenger of Allah, we had already prayed in our tents. He said: . So here is a second specification; that is: after Fajr, prayer after Fajr is disliked. Therefore, the investigating scholars came up with a rule that gathers the hadiths narrated on this issue; they said: the prayer prohibited in the disliked times is the absolute voluntary prayers, whereas voluntary prayers that have causes are not disliked.
We come to the greeting of the mosqueSunan Ibn Majah 1012Sahih (Darussalam), which conflicts with Jami` at-Tirmidhi 419Da'if (Darussalam) after 'Asr; this conflict is not strong, because the generality of "no prayer" has been weakened by many and very many specifications. We said, for example: no prayer after Fajr except for one who missed the Fajr sunnah, after Fajr and after 'Asr except for one who entered a congregational mosque and had prayed the obligatory prayer; so let him pray with them, and it will be a voluntary prayer for him, except, except; so a final exception enters, which is: no prayer after Fajr and no prayer after 'Asr except the greeting of the mosque; why? Because the command for the greeting has not been subjected to restriction or specification. With this rule, the hadiths are reconciled.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner : ... and we benefited.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
Another questioner: In detail ... .
The Shaykh: Please, please.
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَThe Imam is appointed to be followed, so when he says the takbir, say the takbir, and when he recites, be silent
إنما جُعِلَ الإمام لِيُؤتمَّ به ، فإذا كبَّر فكبِّروا ، وإذا قرأ فأنصتواThere is no prayer
لا صلاةSo listen
فأنصتواSo when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُواFor example, for the sake of benefit: Many people find it difficult when they enter the mosque during a time of dislike; do they pray the greeting of the mosque or not? He entered a few minutes before the sun sets; does he pray the greeting or not? Naturally, there is disagreement on this issue, but our aim now is how to reconcile:
no prayer is valid after the dawn prayer till the sun rises
لا صلاة بعد صلاة الفجر حتى تطلع الشمسIf anyone of you enters a Mosque, he should not sit until he has offered a tworak` at prayer.
إذا دخل أحدكم المسجد فلا يجلس حتَّى يصلي ركعتينThere is no Salat after Al-Fajr
لا صلاة بعد الفجرAre you not Muslims?
آالصُّبح أربعًا ؟There is no Salat after Al-Fajr
لا صلاة بعد الفجرThere are many hadiths, among them: a hadith in the Muwatta of Imam Malik that the Messenger (peace be upon him) prayed the Fajr prayer in the Musjid al-Khaif during the Farewell Pilgrimage. When he said the taslim, he found two men from a distance whose state indicated that they had not prayed with the congregation. So he called them and said to them:
Are you not Muslims?
أَوَلسْتُما مسلمين ؟What kept you from praying with us?
فما منعكما أن تصلِّيا معنا ؟If one of you prays in his tent and then comes to the congregational mosque, let him pray with them; for it will be a voluntary prayer for him.
فإذا صلى أحدكم في رحله ثم أتى مسجد الجماعة ؛ فليصلِّ معهم ؛ فإنها تكون له نافلةWe come to the greeting of the mosque
When anyone of you enters the mosque, let him not sit down
إذا دخل أحدكم المسجد فلا يجلسThere is no Salat after Al-Fajr
