Is it permissible to pray the sunnah of wudu' during the prohibited times?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, is it permissible for a person—whether male or female—to pray the sunnah of wudu' during a prohibited time, such as the 'Asr time?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible to pray the sunnah of wudu' during the prohibited times. This is because the stronger position is that all prayers with a specific cause are permissible during the prohibited times, such as the sunnah of wudu', the greeting of the mosque, the sunnah of tawaf, and repeating the congregational prayer if you arrive while the people are praying in congregation. The correct view is that the general rule is that any prayer with a cause is permissible during the prohibited times.
