The missed Zuhr prayer behind an imam who is praying 'Asr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If I missed the midday prayer because I was sleeping and did not wake up, and the time for the afternoon prayer entered while I had not yet prayed the midday prayer, and the call to prayer was made in the mosque for the afternoon prayer, do I pray the afternoon prayer with the imam with the intention of the midday prayer, or do I pray the midday prayer and then pray the afternoon prayer afterwards?

Answer:
Do not pray behind the imam with the intention of the midday prayer; that is not contradictory. It is permissible to pray the midday prayer behind one who is praying the afternoon prayer; there is no harm in that. So you pray with the intention of the midday prayer. When you finish the midday prayer with the imam, you stand up and pray the afternoon prayer. If you find another congregation, you pray with them; otherwise, you pray it alone. Yes.
