Summary of "لماذا لا يجوز الصلاة وقت شروق الشمس وغروبها ـ الشيخ محمد بن زعمية ـ هلا سألوا"
Key Points on Prayer Timing and Related Rulings
- Prohibition of Prayer at Sunrise and Sunset:
- It is prohibited to perform prayers exactly at the times of sunrise and sunset.
- This prohibition is based on a Hadith stating not to pray during these times because the sun rises and sets on the "horns of Satan."
- The reason is to avoid the appearance of worshipping the sun or resembling those who prostrate to Satan.
- Satan is described as feeling arrogant during these times, so Muslims avoid praying to prevent any association with such acts.
- Times of Dislike (Makruh) for Voluntary Prayer:
- After the afternoon prayer until sunset is a disliked time to perform voluntary prayers.
- Similarly, after the dawn prayer until sunrise is also a disliked time.
- These times are not prohibited but are discouraged for voluntary prayers.
- Making Up Missed Prayers:
- Making up missed obligatory prayers (Qada) is allowed at any time, including during times of dislike.
- The ruling for making up prayers due to forgetfulness is the same; it can be done anytime without restriction.
- General Distinction:
- Prohibited times apply mainly to voluntary (Nafl) prayers.
- Obligatory prayers missed must be made up regardless of the time, even during disliked or prohibited times.
Summary of Methodology:
- Avoid voluntary prayers at sunrise and sunset.
- Avoid voluntary prayers after afternoon until sunset and after dawn until sunrise.
- Make up missed obligatory prayers at any time.
- The prohibition aims to prevent resemblance to sun worship or Satanic prostration.
