بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيم

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah. As-Salaam Alaikum WA-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu.

Praise be to Allaah; we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad () is His slave and Messenger.

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَلۡتَنظُرۡ نَفۡسٌ۬ مَّا قَدَّمَتۡ لِغَدٍ۬‌ۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ (١٨)

O ye who believe! Fear Allah and let every soul look to what (provision) he has sent forth for the morrow. Yea, fear Allah: for Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do[1].

مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَآ أَحَدٍ۬ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمۡ وَلَـٰكِن رَّسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ عَلِيمً۬ا (٤٠)

Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things[2].

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰٓٮِٕڪَتَهُ ۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّۚ يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ صَلُّواْ عَلَيۡهِ وَسَلِّمُواْ تَسۡلِيمًا (٥٦)

Allah and His angels, send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him and salute him, with all respect[3].

فَوَيۡلٌ۬ لِّلَّذِينَ يَكۡتُبُونَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ بِأَيۡدِيہِمۡ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ هَـٰذَا مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَشۡتَرُواْ بِهِۦ ثَمَنً۬ا قَلِيلاً۬‌ۖ فَوَيۡلٌ۬ لَّهُم مِّمَّا ڪَتَبَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَوَيۡلٌ۬ لَّهُم مِّمَّا يَكۡسِبُونَ (٧٩)

Woe, then, to those who write the book with their hands and then say: This is from Allah, so that they may take for it a small price; therefore woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn[4].

 لِّلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۗ وَإِن تُبۡدُواْ مَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِڪُمۡ أَوۡ تُخۡفُوهُ يُحَاسِبۡكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ‌ۖ فَيَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ ڪُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ قَدِيرٌ (٢٨٤)

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's; and whether you manifest what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will call you to account according to it; then He will forgive whom He pleases and chastise whom He pleases, and Allah has power over all things[5].

إِنَّمَآ أَمۡوَٲلُكُمۡ وَأَوۡلَـٰدُكُمۡ فِتۡنَةٌ۬‌ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُ ۥۤ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٌ۬ (١٥)

Your riches and your children may be but a trial: but in the Presence of Allah is the highest Reward[6].

Preamble/Introduction
Tahiyat al-Masjid at times when prayer is not allowed - Islam Question & Answer

https://www.google.com/amp/s/islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/306

The correct opinion is that Tahiyat al-masjid is permitted at all times, even after Fajr and after ‘Asr, because of the general applicability of the hadeeth 

“When any one of you enters the Mosque, he should not sit down until he has prayed two rak’ahs” (Saheeh – agreed upon), 

and because this is one of the prayers that is done for a specific reason, like Salaat al-Tawaaf (prayer done after circumambulating the Ka’bah) and Salaat al-Kusoof (prayer at the time of an eclipse).

Salatul Tasbih

My question is that, can can I pray Salatul Tasbhi anytime? Be it in the morning, evening or at night?

Prayers have specified timings 

Forbidden and allowed timings for non-obligatory prayers 

Salatul Tasbih are challenged by some and accepted by others due single SOURCE 

HOWEVER check yourself.

*How To Perform Salatul Tasbih (Prayer of Forgiveness)*

Salah is one of the most important constituents of Muslim life and is the second pillar of Islam after Shahadah (belief in One Allah SWT and His Last Messenger ). Its basic aim is to communicate with the Almighty Lord, asking for His forgiveness and adopting the way of morality and uprightness. It is also a great means of supplication to the Gracious God for completion of one`s rightful wishes and desires.

Namaz is of two types: one is obligatory and the other is supererogatory in nature. The former is made compulsory on every believer to perform Salah five times a day at their specific times, i.e. Fajr (Morning), Dhuhur (Noon), Asr (Afternoon), Maghrib (Evening) and Isha (Night) prayers. On the other hand, the latter is the Sunnah (Way of Life) of the Holy Prophet , Who used to offer prayers in His spare time which are known as Nafl (noncompulsory) Salats. Some of such prayers are Tahiyatul Wudu, Tahajjud, Ishraq, Chaasht and Tasbeeh Salats etc.

*Background And Importance Of Salaatul Tasbeeh*

Tasbeeh is an Arabic whose literal meaning is “to Glorify Allah SWT”. It is actually a form Dhikr (remembrance of God) done by Muslims, which involves recurring phrases comprising of Adoration of the Almighty Lords. Hence, it is a practice involving praising of the Exalted One and showing one`s gratitude in front of Him.

Among all the Nafl prayers, the Salah of Tasbeeh holds a great distinction in terms of its remarkable importance in Muslim life. The Messenger of God used to pray it and also regarded it highly beneficial for His followers to pray it in order to benefit from its huge implications resulting in one`s forgiveness of sins.

Rasulullah is narrated to have said to his uncle Hazrat ‘Abbas (R.A):

O Abbas! O my uncle! Shall I not give you a gift? Shall I not show you something by means of which Allah will forgive your sins, the first and the last of them, the past and recent, the unintentional and the intentional, the small and huge, the secret and open? The Holy Prophet then taught him the Salah al-Tasbih. Furthermore he advised him that it be offered daily, if possible. If not, then every Friday or once a month or once a year or at least once in one’s life time. (Abu Dawood).

According to the above mentioned Hadith, Hazrat Muhammad , through guiding His own uncle, Hazrat Abbas (R.A), has awarded the whole Muslim community with a grand present of Salaatul Tasbeeh. This prayer encloses a method of pleasing the Most Merciful to grant believer mercy for its sins which have been committed in the past.

*Times when it is forbidden to pray*

Can you please tell me what the forbidden times of prayers in a day are.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

There are times when it is forbidden to pray. They are as follows: 

From dawn until sunrise

From sunrise until the sun has risen to the height of a spear above the horizon; nowadays this is regarded as equivalent to twelve minutes after sunrise, but to be on the safe side one should make it a quarter of an hour.

When the sun is overhead at noon, until it has passed its zenith

From ‘Asr prayer until sunset

When the sun starts to set until it is completely set 

 

These times may be summed up more briefly as follows: 

From dawn until the sun has risen to the height of a spear

When it is directly overhead at noon until it has passed its zenith

From ‘Asr prayer until the sun has set completely. 

When we say from dawn, we mean that one should not offer voluntary prayers after the adhaan of Fajr except the Sunnah of Fajr. This is the view of the Hanbalis. The Shaafa’is are of the view that the prohibition has to do with Fajr prayer itself, so it is not forbidden to offer voluntary prayers between the adhaan and iqaamah, rather it is forbidden to offer voluntary prayers after offering the obligatory prayer of Fajr. 

This is the more correct view, but one should not offer any voluntary prayer after dawn apart from the two Sunnah rak’ahs of Fajr, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) only prayed two brief rak’ahs after dawn had broken. 

See al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 4/160. 

This is indicated by the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (547) and Muslim (1367) from Ibn ‘Abbaas, who said:  Some trustworthy men bore witness in my presence, the most trustworthy of whom in my view was ‘Umar, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade praying after Fajr until the sun had risen and after ‘Asr until the sun had set.” 

Al-Bukhaari (548) and Muslim (1371) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When the top edge of the sun has risen, then delay praying until it has risen above the horizon, and when the lower part of the sun has set, delay praying until it is fully set.” 

Al-Bukhaari (551) narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “There is no prayer after Fajr until the sun has risen fully, and no prayer after ‘Asr until the sun has set.” 

Muslim (1373) narrated that ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir al-Juhani said: “There are three times at which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade us to pray or to bury our dead: when the sun has clearly started to rise until it is fully risen, when it is directly overhead at midday until it has passed its zenith, and when the sun starts to set until it has fully set.” 

And Allaah knows best.
