13- TIMES WHEN THE PRAYER IS FORBIDDEN
TIMES WHEN THE PRAYER IS FORBIDDEN
(The rules below apply to prayers that are wholly supererogatory, i.e. which are not performed for any particular occasion or reason, and apply to prayers performed for a reason that will occur after the prayer, such as the two Sunna rak’as before entering the state of pilgrim sanctity (ihram).)
The prayer is unlawful and invalid:
(1) From sunrise until the sun is a spear’s length above the horizon (meaning when a distance equal to the sun’s diameter appears between the sun and the horizon);
(2) From the time the sun is at its highest point in the sky until it moves on;
(3) From when the sun yellows before sunset until after it has set;
(4) After praying the current dawn prayer (subh);
(5) And after praying the current mid-afternoon prayer (‘asr).
It is permissible at the above times to offer non-obligatory prayers that are performed for a particular reason, such as the funeral prayer, greeting the mosque, or the two rak’as that are sunna after ablution (wudu); and is also permissible to make up missed prayers; though one may not perform the two rak’as that are sunna before entering the state of pilgrim sanctity (ihram).
It is not offensive to pray within the Meccan Sacred Precinct (Haram) at any time.
Nor is it offensive to pray when the sun is at its zenith on Fridays (whether in the Sacred Precinct or elsewhere).
