The questioner:
One of the brothers asked me to pray the 'Asr prayer with him, after it had passed for him, so that he could attain the reward of the congregation.
The Shaykh:
Repeat the question from the beginning.
The questioner:
I heard. He says: One of the brothers asked me to pray the 'Asr prayer with him after it had passed for him, so that he could attain the reward of the congregation. Is that permissible for me, even though the time is a time of prohibition for me?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that. A man entered the mosque after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had prayed with his companions, and he said, "Who will give charity to this man by praying with him?" So this is good; you stand and pray with him at any time, even after 'Asr. Yes.
