The ruling on voluntary prayer in the Sacred Mosque after 'Asr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If someone enters the Sacred Mosque after the 'Asr prayer, does he pray anything other than the sunnah of tawaf?
Answer:
He is not permitted to pray anything other than the sunnah of tawaf; because it is a time in which prayer is prohibited until the sun sets, and likewise after Fajr until the sun rises and reaches the height of a spear. As for the sunnah of tawaf, there is no harm in it; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 585 And this includes all prayers that have a cause, such as the greeting of the mosque.

لا تمنعوا أحدًا طاف بهذا البيت وصلى أية ساعة شاء من ليل أو نهار
