Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q310: The questioner asks: What are the times in which prayer is prohibited, and is this prohibition general for men and women, or is it specific to women only?
A310: The times in which prayer is prohibited are general for men and women. In summary, they are: from the Fajr prayer until the sun has risen, when the sun is standing in the middle of the sky until it declines, and after the 'Asr prayer until the sun has set. These are the times of prohibition for prayer for men and women. This refers to voluntary prayer (nafilah). As for obligatory prayer, if one forgets it, he prays it whenever he remembers it or wakes up; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan ad-Darimi 2:45 Likewise, the two rak'ahs of tawaf: if a person performs tawaf around the House
at any time, he prays two rak'ahs after the tawaf, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Mishkat al-Masabih 1045 The scholars differed regarding the remaining prayers with specific causes; such as the eclipse prayer, the funeral prayer, and the two rak'ahs of wudu'. Some of them permitted them due to the presence of their causes at any time, while some of them generalized the prohibition of them.

Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it. There is no expiation for it other than that.
من نسي صلاة أو نام عنها فليصلها إذا ذكرها، لا كفارة لها إلا ذلكat any time, he prays two rak'ahs after the tawaf, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
You descendants of ‘Abd Manaf must not prevent anyone who goes round this House and prays at any hour of the night or day he wishes.
يا بني عبد مناف، لا تمنعوا أحدًا طاف بهذا البيت وصلَّى أية ساعة شاء، من ليلٍ أو نهار
