What is the ruling on the greeting of the mosque during the times of prohibition?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
For example, right now, an 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 or not? If someone entered a few minutes before the sun sets, does he pray the greeting or not? Of course, there is disagreement on this issue, but our aim now is how to reconcileSahih Muslim 827. So, you entered the mosque for some reason after the Fajr prayer; do you pray the greeting or not? People have said this and that, and we have nothing to go by here. If you say, "I will not pray, holding fast to this hadith," another hadith comes to you: . So, what do you do? The great scholars whose words we have read on this subject were unable to resolve the problem except Ibn Taymiyyah, specifically, and al-Hafiz al-Iraqi, generally, where he mentioned the rules. One of these rules, which I mentioned earlier, is that if a general proof is subjected to specification, its generality is weakened, whereas a general proof that has not been subjected to specification remains strong in its generality. Thus, the strong prevails over the weak, and the matter becomes Sunan Ibn Majah 1250Sahih (Darussalam), except in cases of exception. There are many, many exceptions. For example, a man enters the mosque for the Fajr prayer and the imam is praying; he had not prayed the preceding sunnah. Allahu Akbar, the imam concludes the prayer. Is it permissible for him to stand up and pray the Fajr sunnah that he missed? The answer is yes. What did we do? Jami` at-Tirmidhi 419Da'if (Darussalam) He said: . After the man prayed, he said: . So, he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. The scholars took this case as an exception to . There are many hadiths, including one in the Muwatta of Imam Malik: — from a distance, their state indicated that they had not prayed with the congregation — . So, this is a second specification, meaning after Fajr. Prayer after Fajr is disliked. Therefore, the precise scholars came up with a rule that gathers the hadiths reported on this issue. They said that the prayer prohibited in the disliked times is the absolute voluntary prayer, whereas voluntary prayers that have causes are not disliked. We come to the greeting of the mosque: Sunan Ibn Majah 1012Sahih (Darussalam) opposes Jami` at-Tirmidhi 419Da'if (Darussalam). This opposition is not strong, because the generality of is weakened by many, many specifications. We said, for example, there is 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 already prayed the obligatory prayer, then let him pray with them, and it will be a voluntary prayer for him. Except, except. So, a final exception is added: there is no prayer after Fajr and no prayer after 'Asr except the greeting of the mosque. Why? Because the command to pray the greeting has not been subjected to qualification or specification. With this rule, the hadiths are reconciled.
