The ruling on delaying the 'Asr and Maghrib prayers due to work

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that reached us is one from Muhammad al-Hadhrabi, who says: "Every day I delay the 'Asr and Maghrib prayers until the time of 'Isha' because of work pressures. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Answer:
That is not permissible for you. Allah the Exalted said:
Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times.إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَّوْقُوتًا
[An-Nisa 4:103]
. So pray the prayer in its time and in congregation. If you are unable to pray it in congregation, pray it alone. But do not delay it past its time. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
