Ruling on making up the Zuhr prayer behind the imam of the 'Asr prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, another issue. A man who missed the Zuhr prayer due to an excuse, meaning he slept through it or forgot it, and went to the mosque intending to pray it, but 'Asr had already started.
The Shaykh : He prays Zuhr behind the imam who is praying 'Asr.
The questioner : Yes, but how does the situation work here? The 'Asr prayer has only a few minutes left before it is called for, so he says, "Let me use this time to complete the four rak'ahs of Zuhr." But when the prayer is called for 'Asr, he has not started and has only completed two of the four rak'ahs.
The Shaykh : He will complete his prayer and then follow the imam for 'Asr.
The questioner : Yes, if he completes the four rak'ahs alone, not adding two more with the imam. Okay, if he did that, is it permissible for him?
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible.
The Shaykh : He prays Zuhr behind the imam who is praying 'Asr.

The 'Asr prayer has only a few minutes left before it is called for, so he says, "Let me use this time to complete the four rak'ahs of Zuhr."
