What are the recommended times for voluntary prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our sister asks another question and says: What are the recommended times for voluntary prayer, and is it permissible to pray voluntary prayer one hour before Maghrib?
Answer: Every hour of the night and the day is a place for voluntary worship, every hour of the night and the day. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) made the night and the day in succession for whoever wishes to remember or wishes to give thanks, Blessed and Exalted is He, as He (peace and blessings be upon him) said in His great Book: [Al-Furqan: 62].
But the times of prohibition are excluded from this: the time between the Fajr prayer and the rising of the sun is a time when prayer is prohibited.
Likewise, the time between the 'Asr prayer and the setting of the sun is a place where prayer is prohibited.
Likewise, when it stands near the midday, when the sun is standing, meaning when it is in the middle of the sky, which is a short duration, this is also a time of prohibition.
As for the remaining times, such as the Duha after the sun rises until the sun stands, after the Zuhr, everything between Zuhr and 'Asr is a place for prayer, the entire night is a place for prayer, so the Duha prayer is confirmed and a confirmed sunnah, likewise the Tahajjud at night and between the two 'Isha' prayers is all a place for worship, in which there is much good and great virtue, but in the times of prohibition, one does not pray except for a reason, such as the prayer of Tawaf for one who performed Tawaf after 'Asr or after Fajr, he prays the prayer of Tawaf, like the sunnah of Wudu for one who performed Wudu, he prays two rak'ahs, the sunnah of Wudu, even after 'Asr and Fajr, like if the sun was eclipsed after 'Asr, it is prescribed to pray for it the eclipse prayer in the most correct of the scholars' opinions, like the greeting of the mosque, if one entered a mosque for a lesson after 'Asr or to sit in it until sunset, it is recommended for him to pray the greeting of the mosque, this is an exception and it is called: those with causes, this is the correct view that they are an exception and there is no harm in them in the times of prohibition according to the correct of the scholars' opinions. Yes.
