What are the timings for morning and evening adhkār? When do they start and when do they end? Is evening adhkār after ʿAṣr or after Maghrib? Do they come in at the start of a prayer time or after you perform a prayer? For example, for morning adhkār, can you do them once Fajr time comes in, even if you haven't prayed Fajr yet? Similarly for evening adhkār?
The main objectives of the morning and evening duʿās are to ask Allah ﷻ for protection from evil and for baraka in the day/night. As such, they can be read anytime in the morning/evening. However, it is preferrable to read the morning supplications between the start of Fajr and sunrise and the evening supplications between ʿAṣr and ʿIshāʾ.[1]
And Allah knows best.
