The Ruling on Delaying the Zuhr and 'Asr Prayers by One Hour After the Adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In the university, the times for the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers catch up with us. Sometimes we pray the prayer in its time, and sometimes we pray the prayer about an hour after the adhan, but the time has not yet passed. His question is: Is there any blame on us for delaying the prayer by about an hour after the adhan, especially since we are praying in congregation?

The Shaykh:
Which prayer?

The questioner:
He mentioned Zuhr and 'Asr.

The Shaykh:
As for 'Asr, do not delay it until the sun turns yellow. Do not delay it until the sun turns yellow. As for Zuhr, do not delay it until the time for 'Asr enters. Do not delay it until the time for 'Asr enters. Yes.
