Regarding the two rak'ahs of the greeting of the mosque before the Maghrib prayer: are they performed before the adhan or not? And what are the times when prayer is prohibited?

The questioner : Regarding the two rak'ahs of the greeting of the mosque before the Maghrib prayer: are they performed before the adhan or how? And we want to learn about the times when prayer is prohibited.

The Shaykh : The times when prayer is prohibited are from the Fajr prayer until the sun has risen the height of a spear, meaning until about a quarter to a third of an hour after the sun rises. This is one time. The second time is about ten minutes before the sun reaches its zenith, meaning about ten minutes before the time for the Zuhr prayer begins. The third time is from the 'Asr prayer until the sun has completely set. These are the times when prayer is prohibited.
The greeting of the mosque is prescribed at all times. Whenever you enter the mosque, do not sit until you pray two rak'ahs, even during these prohibited times. It should be known that the stronger opinion among the scholars is that all voluntary prayers that have a specific cause are not prohibited; rather, they are performed even during the prohibited times. So if you enter the mosque after the Fajr prayer, pray two rak'ahs. If you enter after the 'Asr prayer, pray two rak'ahs. If you enter before the sun reaches its zenith, pray two rak'ahs. If you enter at any hour of the night or day, do not sit until you pray two rak'ahs.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
