Summary
Voluntary prayer after the Asr prayer until sunset is disliked (makruh) because of hadiths that prohibit it. The prohibition does not apply to prayers with a specific cause, such as making up an obligatory prayer, prostration of recitation, funeral prayer, eclipse prayer, rain prayer, tawaf prayer and the greeting of the mosque. The Shafi'i school permits such prayers without any dislike, while the Hanafi school does not allow them. Prayer in the Sacred Mosque of Mecca is also not disliked at these times.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Disebabkan itu, di dalam fiqh, hukum melakukan solat sunat selepas solat asar adalah makruh melainkan pengecualian yang telah disebutkan pada perbincangan di atas.
