Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man missed the 'Asr prayer and arrived at the mosque for the Maghrib prayer. The congregation made him lead them in Maghrib, and before he said the opening takbir for Maghrib, he remembered that he had not prayed 'Asr. He led them in Maghrib out of shyness that they would find out he had not prayed 'Asr. What do you know?
Answer:
Their prayer is valid, but he must repeat the Maghrib prayer because it is not valid except after 'Asr.
