asr
Performing Asr Salaah just before Maghrib azaan
Q:
1. I offered my Asr salah aproximately 30 seconds before the Maghrib Adhan. Will I have to repeat the prayer because I offered it in the forbidden time?
2. I did not have the niyyah of offering the prayer as qadha? Is it necessary to also specify in the niyyah that the prayer is qadha?
Hanafi performing asr salaah in the Shaafi'ee time
Q: Is it permissible for a hanafi to follow a shafi jamaat for asr salaah if the time for asr hasnt set in for hanafi yet? What is the ruling and other important points to note?
Hanafi performing asr salaah in Shaafi'ee time
Q: When we go for umrah, all the umrah busses stop for asr prayer according to shafiee time. We (ladies) strictly follow hanafi time. In winters, due to school, we read our zuhur salah after the shafiee asr azan, as hanafi zuhur salaah time is still there. We also read our asr according to hanafi time i.e. late.
So my question is... the bus stops for asr at shafiee time. If we do not get the jamaat, what should we do? Can we read at shafiee time at such circumstances?
Sleeping between asr and maghrib
Q: My question is that my daughter is 3 years old. Is it also forbidden for her to sleep between asr and maghrib? I have heard, if we sleep between asr and maghrib, we could get bad ilness? If we are tired and just want to lie down for a while, is that ok?
Sun setting while performing Asr Salaah
Q: If a person starts his Asr salaah just before sunset and the time of sunset enters whilst he is performing it, is the salaah accepted?

Mujhe bataye jo me ne baghair ghusal namaaz adaa ki us se mujhe gunaah to nahi ho ga aur us ka asar mere Imaan aur nikaah par to nahi ho ga aur us ka kuffaara kya he?
The end time of Zuhr and Asr Salaah
Q: When does zuhr and asar prayer time ends?
Performing Salaah in its correct time
Q: Please can you advise if it is permissible for a Hanafi to read the Asr namaz alone when the time for Asr (shaafi'ee) has set in. The reason is that this person only reaches home 5-10 minutes before Maghrib due to his work and car pool commitments and does not want to miss his Asr namaaz.
Beginning of Asr time according to Hanafi Mazhab
Q:
1. There are two times for the starting of Asr Salah. The earlier time is according to the Sha'afi madhab, and a later time is according to Hanafi madhab. I recently came to know that even for us as Hanafis, it is wajib to perform Zuhr salah before the start of Sha'afi Asr time, to be on the safe side and avoid the risk of our Zuhr Salah being Qaza. Is this correct?
2. If a Hanafi performs Asr Salah when the time has started according to Sha'afi madhab but according to Hanafi madhab the time has still not entered, is his Salah valid? Does he have to repeat the Salah? (This is a very common problem in many Western countries where Hanafis print out Salah timetables from the Internet and the Asr time displayed there is according to Sha'afi madhab. So these people then perform Asr salah before the Hanafi time).
3. In some non-Hanafi countries, Asr Salah is performed in the Masajid before the Hanafi time. In this case, a Hanafi person has two choices, either to perform Salah with Jamaat before the Hanafi time or to offer it alone later on. What should he do?
4. There is a time before starting of Zuhr salah when it is prohibited to do Sajda or perform any Salah. I was under the impression that this time lasts for only ten or fifteen minutes before Zuhr. However, I came across a Salah timetable where it mentions the 'Makruh' time before Zuhr. For Durban, South Africa for 3rd April, this Makruh time has a duration of 38 minutes, lasting from 11.22 a.m till 12.00 pm. Is this correct?
