Best Time to Recite Morning and Evening Adhkaar




Question: When is the best time to recite the remembrance of the evening; after Asr or after Maghrib?

Shaykh Muhammad bin Haadee: Before the setting of the sun; before Maghrib by one hour, or forty-five minutes, or half an hour, or fifteen minutes, and like this. The important thing is (that it is done) a little before Maghrib. And likewise for the morning; it should be done before the rising of the sun, after Fajr.[1]

Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The intended meaning of what is mentioned in the ahaadeeth that ‘Whoever says such and such in the morning and in the evening’ is before the sun rises, and before it sets. And the time for these adhkaar is after dawn and after Asr. [Meaning between dawn and sunrise, and between ‘Asr and Maghrib].”

See al-Waabil as-Sayyib, p. 100-101 by Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (may Allaah have mercy on him)
