It is Disliked to Pray the Sunna of Wudu & Other Non-Obligatory Prayers During the Disliked Time
Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Whenever we perform wudu it's sunnah to use miswak and offer 2 rakats afterwards. if we have performed wudu around Asr and Maghrib time can we pray 2 rakats or not.

Walaikum assalam,
It is a confirmed sunna to brush one's teeth every time one performs wudu, optimally with a miswak. The place for this is when one washes ones mouth.
It is recommended to pray 2 rakats afterwards during non-disliked times. Given this, one would not pray this during the 3 prohibited times:
as the sun is rising after fajr time is over,
just before zuhr time enters,
and towards the end of Asr time, when the sun's rays dim such that one can look towards it without being dazzled.

It is also disliked to pray any nafl prayers
After Fajr time comes in, except the 2 rakats of the sunna of Fajr, After praying the fard of Fajr,
After praying the fard of Asr,
After Maghrib time enters, until one has prayed the fard,
After the khutba has commenced for the Friday prayer (or effectively, if the khatib has risen on the minbar).

In these times, if one enters the masjid, one simply sits down, and does not pray the 2 rakats of greeting the mosque. (One should intend it with the next prayer one performs, though.)
Similarly, one cannot pray Salat al-Tawba (the prayer of repentance) or Salat al-Istikhara during these times. (One should simply recite the dua itself, if in a hurry, or wait until a non-disliked time.)
And Allah alone gives success.
Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
