Makrooh times for Salaah

· 28 Jumada II 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Please state when the makrooh time commences for the following Salaah:

1. Fajr.

2. Zuhr.

3. Maghrib.

4. Ishraaq.

5. Chaast.

Answer

The three forbidden times to perform salaah are sunrise, sunset and zawaal. Apart from this, it is makrooh for one to delay performing the Asr salaah till the time the colour of the sun changes before sunset. One should perform the ishraaq salaah 15 to 20 minutes after sunrise.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
