Time before sunset when it is not permissible to perform salaah
Question
How many minutes before sunset is it not permissible to make salaah or sajdah-e-tilaawat? Some say atleast half an hour before sunset and some say about three minutes before sunset.
Answer
There is no set time for determining the makrooh time. It would be approximately 15 minutes before sunset.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
