Serving lunch at the 'Asr adhan and missing the first rak'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I arrive from work one hour before the 'Asr prayer, then I sleep and do not wake up until the 'Asr adhan. Lunch is always served to me at the time of the 'Asr adhan, and I usually miss the first rak'ah. I am constantly in this state. Is there a sin on me?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is an intentional arrangement. It is not permissible. Have your lunch as soon as you arrive, or have it after you pray. As for arranging lunch with the 'Asr prayer, which is the middle prayer, and leaving the congregational prayer, this is not permissible.
