Is the time for the 'Asr prayer until the sun turns yellow?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you. Some scholars said: The end of the time for the 'Asr prayer is when the sun turns yellow.

The Shaykh : Yes, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said it; it is not just some scholars.

The questioner : Meaning that it is a voluntary time...

The Shaykh : But it is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
Whoever catches a Rak'ah of Asr before the sun has set, then he has caught Asr. من أدرك سجدة أو قال ركعة قبل أن تغرب الشمس فقد أدرك العصر
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 186Sahih (Darussalam)
So the voluntary time is until the sun turns yellow, and it is not permissible to delay it until after that, but if one delays it, he has still caught it.
