The Prayer Before the Time of the Sun's Standing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The prayer of the Qur'an, is it valid to pray the prayer of the Qur'an before the sun has passed by ten degrees?

Answer:
Ten minutes is a lot, yes. What is prohibited is the time when the sun is at its zenith in the middle of the sky, when it is directly overhead. Prayer is prohibited until it moves away. As for before it is directly overhead, prayer is permissible. Its being directly overhead, they say, is a brief moment that does not allow for prayer; it does not allow for prayer, yes.
