The Ruling on Praying the Greeting of the Mosque at Sunset
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the greeting of the mosque prayed at sunset?
Answer:
The correct view is that it is one of the prayers with a specific cause. So if one enters the mosque, he prays the greeting of the mosque. Likewise, if the sun eclipses after the afternoon prayer, he prays the eclipse prayer, because it is one of the prayers with a specific cause. This is the correct view. Prayers with a specific cause are performed in the prohibited times, such as the eclipse prayer and the greeting of the mosque, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. The eclipse prayer, and likewise the recommended practice of tawaf is one of the prayers with a specific cause; if one performs tawaf after the afternoon prayer, he prays two units of prayer after the tawaf, based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Mishkat al-Masabih 1045; because the prayer of tawaf is one of the prayers with a specific cause.

يا بني عبد مناف! لا تمنعوا أحدًا طاف بهذا البيت أو صلى أي ساعة شاء من ليل أو نهار
