What is the authenticity of the hadith (There is no prayer after Asr)? And what is the ruling on prayer after Asr?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is the hadith Sunan an-Nasa'i 518Da'if (Darussalam) authentic?
The Shaykh : Correct.
The questioner : Well, does it not conflict with this prayer?
The Shaykh : No, because here there are two reasons, I mean two reasons for the absence of conflict. The first reason is that his statement (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 518Da'if (Darussalam) is a general statement that is specified, meaning it is specified by his statement (peace and blessings be upon him) in two other hadiths: Sunan an-Nasa'i 573Sahih (Darussalam) And the meaning of that is that the prohibition implied by the first hadith, your hadith, is at the beginning of the sun’s yellowing and its inclination toward setting, and I do not think you meant this?
The questioner : No, of course not.
The Shaykh : And so this is the first reason. The second reason is that prayers which have causes are not disliked to be performed in the disliked times. For example, a man who performs wudu when the sun is yellowing or shortly after the sun rises, it is recommended for him to pray the two rak'ahs of the wudu sunnah. This is a prayer, as the Shafi'i jurists say, of the type that has causes. And all prayers that have causes are prescribed to be performed in the disliked times. In brief, the disliked times are for absolute voluntary prayer, but as for a restricted act of worship, including those with causes, they are not disliked.
The questioner : Like entering the mosque, for example?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
There is no prayer after 'Asr
لا صلاة بعد العصرThe Shaykh : Correct.
The questioner : Well, does it not conflict with this prayer?
The Shaykh : No, because here there are two reasons, I mean two reasons for the absence of conflict. The first reason is that his statement (peace and blessings be upon him)
There is no prayer after 'Asr
لا صلاة بعد العصرUnless it is elevated and pure
إلا أن تكون مرتفعة نقيةpraying after 'Asr unless the sun was still white, clear and high
لا صلاة بعد العصر إلا أن تكون الشمس مرتفعة نقيةThe questioner : No, of course not.
The Shaykh : And so this is the first reason. The second reason is that prayers which have causes are not disliked to be performed in the disliked times. For example, a man who performs wudu when the sun is yellowing or shortly after the sun rises, it is recommended for him to pray the two rak'ahs of the wudu sunnah. This is a prayer, as the Shafi'i jurists say, of the type that has causes. And all prayers that have causes are prescribed to be performed in the disliked times.
