Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, Salim?
The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh. The rising and setting of the sun, O Shaykh... there are specific hadiths regarding this.
The Shaykh : Yes, is that all?
The questioner : I am asking about the greeting, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The greeting is a recommended practice (sunnah) at any time. You pray the greeting whenever you enter the mosque, whether it is night or day, so pray the greeting. Likewise, every prayer has a cause. When a person performs ablution (wudu'), it is recommended for him to pray two rak'ahs. So if he performs ablution after the 'Asr prayer, we say: pray two rak'ahs.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
