The Ruling on the Two Rak'ahs of Wudu and Praying Them in the Times of Prohibition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: He says: Based on the hadith of Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) :, I sometimes perform wudu during the times of prohibition, for example after the 'Asr prayer, or after the Fajr prayer, or when the sun is setting or rising, for instance. Do I commit a sin if I pray the two rak'ahs of wudu? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The Shaykh: It is recommended to perform wudu, and it is recommended to pray. When a person performs wudu, he prays two rak'ahs, the sunnah of wudu, at any time, even in a time of prohibition; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 1:89.
The Shaykh: The point is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two rak'ahs whenever he performed wudu, and he encouraged people to do so (peace and blessings be upon him). It is called the sunnah of wudu. There is no objection to praying it in a time of prohibition or otherwise, because it is a confirmed sunnah. Yes.
The questioner: He says: Based on the hadith of Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) :
I never performed wudu without praying two rak'ahs after the wudu.

Whoever performs wudu like my wudu, then prays two rak'ahs in which he does not speak to himself, his previous sins are forgiven.
من توضأ مثل وضوئي هذا ثم صلى ركعتين لا يحدث فيهما نفسه غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبهThe Shaykh: The point is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two rak'ahs whenever he performed wudu, and he encouraged people to do so (peace and blessings be upon him). It is called the sunnah of wudu. There is no objection to praying it in a time of prohibition or otherwise, because it is a confirmed sunnah. Yes.
