Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person missed the 'Asr prayer with the congregation and woke up half an hour before the Maghrib adhan. Yes, a person missed the 'Asr prayer with the congregation and woke up half an hour before the Maghrib adhan, which is the time when cars leave for this lesson. If I pray 'Asr at home, I will miss the lesson and I will not find a car to bring me here. Is it permissible for me to pray 'Asr at the mosque after the time for the prayer has passed, or not?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible for you. 'Asr is obligatory. Attending this lesson is recommended. Pray 'Asr and you will catch up, if Allah wills. Ask the person in charge of the car to wait two or three minutes. You pray and then get in the car. Yes.
