Ruling on Delaying Prayer Due to University Excuses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We have a lecture at the university from three o'clock to five o'clock, and the professor does not allow us to leave to pray the 'Asr prayer. Is our prayer after five o'clock permissible?The Shaykh: By Allah! I do not know in which region this is?The questioner: In Riyadh.
The Shaykh: At five o'clock, the time is still remaining.
The questioner: But it differs between winter and summer.
The Shaykh: The important thing is that as long as the time is still remaining, there is no blame on you.
The questioner: That is to say: the time is the yellowing of the sun.
The Shaykh: The yellowing; when the sun turns yellow, the time for 'Asr has passed, except out of dire necessity.
