Question:
Is it permissible for a person to pray the greeting of the mosque, even if the sun is at its zenith?
Answer:
Yes, when he enters the mosque, he prays, whether it is during the time when the sun is standing still, or after the 'Asr prayer, or after the Fajr prayer; because these two rak'ahs are connected to entering the mosque, and one of their causes is entering the mosque. So when he enters the mosque, he prays two rak'ahs before sitting down, absolutely, at any time. This is the correct view. Likewise, if he circumambulates the Ka'bah in Makkah, he prays the two rak'ahs of tawaf, even if it is after the 'Asr prayer, or after the Fajr prayer; because they are among the prayers with a specific cause; due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Mishkat al-Masabih 1045. Yes.
