Ruling on delaying the 'Asr prayer until the sun turns yellow

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I got up from sleep, and the sun was almost yellow, so I prayed 'Asr. Is my prayer valid?

Answer:
It is valid, but you must repent to Allah; because it is not permissible to delay 'Asr until the sun turns yellow. It is obligatory to pray it before the sun turns yellow. You must tell your family to wake you up, or set the alarm for a time when you can catch the prayer with the Muslims. It is not permissible for you to be lax. It is obligatory for you to pray with the Muslims in their mosques, 'Asr and the other prayers.
It is not permissible to delay the 'Asr prayer until the sun turns yellow, neither for a man nor for a woman. It is obligatory for both the man and the woman to perform the 'Asr prayer before the sun turns yellow. And it is specifically obligatory for the man to pray it in congregation in the mosques of Allah. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
