Is it permissible to pray after 'Asr?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible to pray after 'Asr, given that some scholars have permitted it, arguing that the prohibition applies only immediately after the 'Asr prayer?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He asks: Is it permissible to pray after 'Asr, given that some scholars have permitted it, arguing that the prohibition applies only immediately after the 'Asr prayer?
The Shaykh:
What is this talk? This is contradictory. If the people pray 'Asr, the time of prohibition begins. There is no prayer after 'Asr, meaning after the 'Asr prayer. The prohibition begins when 'Asr is prayed, whether he prays it or the people pray it. Even if he prays 'Asr alone, the prohibition begins for him. The prohibition begins for him. So, for everyone who prays 'Asr, the prohibition begins regarding voluntary prayers. I do not know of any scholar who permits prayer after 'Asr except for those with a cause, where there is disagreement. There is disagreement, yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says.
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made up the regular voluntary prayer of Zuhr after 'Asr. He made up the regular voluntary prayer of Zuhr after 'Asr. This is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because if he did something, he established it. It is specific to him (peace and blessings be upon him).
