Times and places when prayer is answered (mawatin al-ijaba)

The places and times of answered prayer are those where a supplication is more likely to be granted. Seeking them out is recommended. ¹

Seeking them out is recommended in the Qur'an and the Sunna. The likelihood of an answer is not a certainty for every prayer. ^{1 2}

They are times, places where the supplicant is already engaged in worship, and states in which an answer is hoped for, such as the lines meeting in battle, the falling of rain and the prescribed prayers. ³

The last third of the night, on the report of the descent of God to the lowest heaven. The hour of Friday is a moment when no Muslim who asks God for something is refused, the jurists giving many views of which hour it is. The Night of Power has a supplication that is granted. ^{4 5 6 7}

Al-Multazam, where a supplicant who asks is granted, according to Ibn 'Abbas; and Arafat, where the Prophet ﷺ urged supplication. ^{7 8}

Supplication between the call and the iqama is not refused. Prostration is the place of the answer, as the Prophet bade the supplicant to be earnest in it. Supplication after the prescribed prayer is a time of answer, by the majority. ^{8 9 10}

The fasting person at iftar, the traveller, the wronged, the parent against the child, the warrior, the one in gatherings of remembrance, and one who prays for an absent brother are all states of answer. ^{10 11 12 13}

A prayer that uses God's greatest name is answered, supported by the reports of Buraydah and Anas. The answer may be delayed for the good of the supplicant. ^{14 15}
