Q 9: What are
the times in which it is prohibited to perform supererogatory Salah (prayer)?
A:
The times in which it is prohibited to perform supererogatory Salah are: After the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer till sunrise, from the time the sun reaches its meridian till its end, and from `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer till sunset. However, it is permissible to offer a Salah with a valid reason at these times according to the soundest opinion of scholars, such as Salat-ul-Kusuf (Prayer at the time of a solar eclipse), the two Rak`ahs after Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah), and Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid (two-unit Prayer to salute the mosque).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
