The Obligation of Maintaining the Order in Performing the Prayers

Question:
The listener Sabri Abdullah Habib al-Hayuri from Iraq sent a message containing a number of questions. We addressed some of them in a previous episode. In this episode, he asks and says: If I am traveling and the time for the Zuhr prayer arrives, and I do not pray it because of the travel, and when I arrive home the time for the 'Asr prayer has entered, is it permissible for me to pray the Zuhr prayer before the 'Asr prayer, or after the 'Asr prayer? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is obligatory for you to maintain the order: you pray Zuhr, then 'Asr. If you arrive in your country, you pray them in full, four rak'ahs for Zuhr and four rak'ahs for 'Asr. If the time entered while you were traveling and you delayed it until you arrived in your country, you pray Zuhr four rak'ahs, then you pray 'Asr four rak'ahs. The reverse is the same: if you left the town after the adhan and did not pray until you were traveling, after you had left the town, you pray them as two rak'ahs, because the criterion is the time of the act. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
