1030. 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir Al-Juhnī narrated: "There are three times that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibited us from performing Salāt in, or burying our dead in: When the sun's rising appears until it has risen up; when the sun is at the zenith until it passes, and when the sun begins its setting, until it has set." (Sahīh)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others; they dislike performing Salāt for the funeral during these times. Ibn Al-Mubārak said: The meaning of this Hadīth: 'burying our dead in' is Salāt for the funeral. And it is disliked to perform Salāt for the
funeral when the sun is rising and when it is setting, and at the middle of the daytime until the sun passes the meridian. This is the saying of Ahmad and Ishāq. Ash-Shāfi'i said: "There is no harm in performing Salāt for the funeral during the times in which it is disliked to perform Salāt."
