To What Degree is this Hadith Authentic?

Question :

Is this Hadith authentic?
"There is no prayer after 'Asr until the sun sets, and there is no prayer after Subh (Fajr) until the sun rises, except in Makkah except in Makkah..except in Makkah."

Answer:

Although the main text of the Hadith is authentic and recorded in the Two Sahihs, the addition, "Except in Makkah," is weak. The correct version of the Hadith, which is related by a number of Companions reads as follows:
"There is no prayer after Subh (Fajr), until the sun rises; and there is no prayer after 'Asr until the sun sets."

However, from this general ruling, an exception is made for prayers that are performed for a reason such as the Eclipse prayer, the prayer after Tawaf, and the prayer one makes upon entering the Masjid - and this is the correct ruling from the two views the scholars hold on the issue. Prayers that are performed. for a reason, such as those just mentioned, may as an exception be performed during the two forbidden times, because of authentic Hadiths that point to this ruling. And with Allâh is the facilitation to do what is right.
