Is the prohibition of prayer after 'Asr restricted to the setting of the sun?

Question : Some scholars have said that the prohibition of prayer after 'Asr mentioned in the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri is restricted and specified to the setting of the sun, based on the hadith of 'Ali in Sunan Abu Dawud, where he prohibited prayer after 'Asr except when the sun is still high. I hope for an answer to this issue?

Answer : The answer to this issue is that the hadiths stating that the prohibition extends to sunset are more authentic, so they are to be adopted. They are also the more cautious position, so they are to be adopted.
