PROHIBITED SALAAT TIMES
There are 3 times during which no Farz or Wajib Salaat can be performed (which became due upon a person before the start of these times).
1. From sunrise to after it has risen,
2. When the sun is at its zenith at midday until it shifts from its position,
3. When the sun turns yellow until it sets.
However, those Salaat which becomes incumbent during these times can be performed within them, but will be Makrooh
(undesirable), e.g.
1. Janazah Salaat once it is ready or
2. Sajdah Tilawat of an Ayat recited in these times.
Likeswise it is valid although, Makrooh to perform the Asr of the same day after the sum turns yellow.
In the prohibited times all Nafle (optional) Salaat are Makrooh
Tahreemi (highly detested) even though they have some cause e.g.
a. An oath was taken to perform the Salaat.
b. The 2 Rakats, which become necessary after performing Tawaaf.
TIMES WHEN NAFLE SALAAT IS MAKROOH
1. After the rise of True Dawn (except the 2 Sunnats of Fajr);
2. After Fajr;
3. Before Asr;
4. Before Maghrib Salaat;
5. When the Imam climbs on the Mimber (pulpit) for the Kutbah (sermon) and until he completes the
Salaat;
6. When the Iqamat is called (except for the sunnats of Fajr which may be performed even at that time);
7. Before Eid Salaat, even at home;
8. After the Eid Salaat in the Masjid or Eidgah;
9. Between the combined Salaats on the plains of Arafat and Muzdalifah during Hajj;
10. When the time remaining for performing the Farz Salaat is very little;
11. When one needs to relieve oneself;
12. When food is brought in one’s presence and one desires it;
13. When anything is present which prevents the mind from concentrating on the Salaat and Impairs the submission of the mind to Allah by it.
