The Ruling on the Prayer of Greeting the Mosque in the Times of Prohibition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on entering the mosque at the time of the setting of the sun? Does he pray or not? Because some of the brothers prohibit the very act itself and say there is a prohibition regarding it?
Answer:
If he enters the mosque before the setting of the sun, other than for the Maghrib prayer, or enters the mosque before the rising of the sun to rest, or to read, or to attend a lesson, then it is better for him to pray two rak'ahs. And if he sits, taking into account what has come in the hadiths prohibiting prayer before the rising of the sun and before its setting, then there is no harm on him, because many of the scholars of knowledge said that the hadiths of prohibition should be given precedence over the hadiths of dispensation.
So the correct view is that this dispensation is given precedence because it is one of those with a cause. If he prays two rak'ahs before the setting of the sun and before its rising, if he enters, then this is better according to the correct view. And if he sits, then there is no blame on him, if Allah wills.
