Performing the sunnah of Asr in the makrooh time

Q:

1. If Asr salaah is prayed in a makrooh time, can the four rakaat sunnah be prayed before the fardh?

2. The makrooh time, I understand starts 20 minutes before Maghrib. Is it right?

A:

1. Rather just read the fardh.

2. It is around that time.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
