The Time for the Morning and Evening Dhikr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are the dhikr mentioned in the hadith, that is, the morning and evening dhikr, to be recited before the prayer or after it?
Please inform us, may Allah reward you.

Answer:
The command is broad, whether before the prayer or after it. If one recites them before the sun sets in the afternoon, that is good, or after sunset, there is no harm. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
So exalted is Allah when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning.فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَحِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ
[Ar-Rum: 17]. His saying (Exalted and Majestic is He):
and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting,وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ
[Qaf: 39].
So the point is: that the tasbih, tahlil, and reciting the prescribed dhikr should be done at the end of the day and at the beginning of the night; these are the evening dhikr.
And the morning dhikr is to be done at the beginning of the day, before the dawn, or after the Fajr prayer, or after the sun rises; all of this is broad, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
