in Islam, can i still pray in the time of which i am not suppose to pray?

Question

as i know there is a time of which muslims are not allow to pray, the time when the sun goes down (when the color of the sun become little reddish). and in the time when the Sun raise up just after ul-Fajr.

say for example, i wake up after the fajr and i need to pray the Fajr, however i noticed that the sun is raising up and this is the time of which i am not suppose to pray at. is it ok to pray the fajr at this time or should i wait ?

Answer 1

wait, becuz the reason prayers are not allowed to be performed that time is to avoid imitating the practices of sun worshippers during ancient times.

Answer 2

In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate and Merciful

As-salamu 'alaykum.

Insha-Allah this reaches you in the best of 'afiya and iman.

Firstly, it should be noted that the times when the prayer is forbidden -- and by "prayer" we are talking about the salat, not dua' -- applies only to prayers that are either (1) wholly supererogatory, i.e. which are not performed for any particular occasion or reason, and (2) 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 or istikhara (guidance prayer).

Only for these two types of prayers is it unlawful and invalid to pray in the forbidden time. The five forbidden times are:

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) (practically speaking, this is about the first 15 minutes after the sun rises)

2. from the time the sun is at its highest point in the sky until it moves on (practically speaking this is only a few seconds, right at the zawwal or zenith)

3. from when the sun yellows before sunset until after it has set (the very end of ‘asr time)

4. after praying the current dawn prayer (subh)

5. and after praying the current midafternoon prayer ('asr)

During these times, it is permissible to pray nonobligatory 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). It is also permissible to make up missed prayers during these times.

One should also note that 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, no matter where you are.

What I've just mentioned are the relied upon positions of the Shafi'i school. And Allah Most High knows best. And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.

Was-salaam.

Answer 3

Prayers are supposed to be performed in the order. As far as I have talked with my friends Uncle who was an Imam. An act of importance or charity is more important the act of prayer. So if someone is there to collect the money or tax, it is better to pay the taxes or help someone first before starting the prayer.

As many things in Islam go, to wake up for Fajr salat you will have to struggle. Have faith that if you accidently miss prayer you may make it up as soon as possible. But if you keep missing fajr prayer due to carelessness and constant negligence then you are jeopardizing your faith. Even more dangerous is when you become complacent with not waking up and satisfied with just making fajr prayer whenever you happen to wake up.

Found in a research I did in a website( http://www.islamtoday.com/showme2.cfm?cat_id=33&sub_cat_id=677 )
These scholars support these various viewpoints with the following:

1. The two Sunnah units of Fajr are an emphatic Sunnah that the prophet (peace be upon him) offered with absolute regularity.
2. They cite the following traditions:

It is related that Ibn Mas`ûd arrived while the imam was praying Fajr, so he prayed two units behind one of the mosque's pillars, as he had not yet prayed his two units for Fajr. [ Musannaf `Abd al-Razzâq (2/444)]

It is related that Ibn `Umar entered the mosque while the people were engaged in prayer, so he entered Hafsah's home and prayed two units then he went out into the mosque and joined the prayer. [Ibn `Abd al-Barr, al-Tamhîd (22/75)]

It is best to act upon the general meaning of the hadîth under discussion that “if the second call to prayer is made, then there is no prayer except the prescribed prayer.” When there is disagreement, the evidence of the Sunnah is the decisive factor.

I've realized, found out that Fard and Wajib are compulsory, and you cannot miss it. But Sunnah and Nafi salat are optional. Hope I answered your question. Khuda Hafiz.

Answer 4

I do not know what actually is written in Islam about this issue ... but it could be true that the elders who had written these scriptures wanted all the followers to impliment the rules without fail and so in an attempt to bring more attention on the specified timings, they might have written that particular timings should be maintained and prayers should not be done at other time.

The writters might have thought of the reason that if the followers are allowed to lean on excuses to pray at different timing then they slowly develop laziness or easiness about the rule of prayer. And so they might have made it as a strict rule to pray particular no of times at particular timings.

But as far the wisdom is applied, when we remember God, it is like a child remembering the father, it is the communication of true eternal love, it is the process of realisation, it is the method of self purification, it is the way of selfless thoughts, it is the process of learning many things from GOD, it the way of taking support from the supreme, it is the way of making God as our companion . . .

. . . for all these things I think there is no need of any time limit. Will lovers have any particular time to think of each other? NO. similarly to remember beloved GOD there is no restriction of time limit. However, to make ourselves cautious of getting away in the negative influences of this world, it is suggested to follow some particular timings which can bring us alertness from time to time.

Love God ... keep no limits

Answer 5

In the case of fajr its better to wait because prayers are not accepted if perfomed in this time.

Answer 6

You should always try to pray on time but if you cannot, making the prayer up later is acceptable.

Answer 7

Fard prayers: The Muslims must pray regularly at the times defined by Allaah for each prayer. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, As‑Salaah (the prayer) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours”[al-Nisa’ 4:103]

Delaying the prayer until its time is over without a reason or excuse is haraam, and it is a major sin.

If the Muslim has an excuse, such as sleeping or forgetting, and he was not able to do the prayer on time, then he must make up the prayer when that reason no longer applies, even if that is at one of the times when prayer is disallowed. This is the view of the majority of scholars. See al-Mughni, 2/515.

The evidence for that is the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever sleeps and misses the prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 597; Muslim, 684)

Naafil prayers: the scholars differed with regard to making them up at times when prayer is disallowed. The correct view is that they should be made up. This is the view of al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on him). See al-Majmoo’, 4/170. It was also the view favoured by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him), as stated in al-Fataawa, 23/127. This is indicated by a number of ahaadeeth, such as:

The report narrated by al-Bukhaari (1233) and Muslim (834) from Umm Salamah (may Allaah be pleased with her), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed two rak’ahs after ‘Asr, and she asked him about that. He said: “Some people from ‘Abd al-Qays came to me and distracted me from praying two rak’ahs after Zuhr, so I did them now.”

Ibn Maajah (1154) narrated that Qays ibn ‘Amr said: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw a man praying two rak'ahs after he had prayed Fajr prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Are you praying Fajr twice?” The man said to him, “I did not pray the two rak’ahs that come before it, so I prayed them now.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) remained silent. This was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah (984). Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) remained silent indicates that it is permissible. (al-Mughni, 2/532).

And Allaah knows best. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and grant him peace.
