Question:
I heard it is not good to sleep or study during the times of Asr and Maghrib. Is this true? Please explain.
Jazaakallah.
Answer:
What you have quoted is true, but not proven from Ahadeeth. It is the advice of some Mashaaikh and possibly based on their experience or whatever was transmitted to them.
This is similar to the advice given, that one should not drink milk after consuming fish or take a bath after meals or drink water after eating watermelon.
