Question 111) - Are there within the times any preferred times?
A: Yes, there are preferred times:
1. Isfar [Yellowing of the sky] is preferred for Fajr. Begin the Salah at that time and recite the Sunnah Qira'ah in such a way that upon completion, if
any nullification of the Salah is discovered, it can b repeated inclusive of the Wudu with Masnun Qira'ah. It should not b delayed so much that there is
doubt if the sun might have risen. Use al-Bahr ar-Raiq ~260/1~
2. It is Mustahab to delay azh-Zhuhr in summer and to perform early in winter.
3. It is Mustahab to delay al-'Asr both in summer and winter as lone as the sun has not changed i.e. it has not become so weak that there i no difficulty
to directly stare at it.
4. It is Mustahab to perform al-Maghrib early both in winter an in summer.
5. It is Mustahab to delay lsha when a third of the night hat passed. These are the general rules, it is however preferred to hasten with al-'Asr and lsha
when the day is cloudy and to delay the others.
6. He who loves Tahajjud should delay Witr to the end of the night i he is certain that he will awake. He who is uncertain and fears that he might not awake should perform Witr before he sleeps.
