Performing Zuhr Salaah just before the time of Asar sets in

Q: One day I forgot to offer zuhr salaah and remembered it only 20 min before Asar salaah. I performed the zuhr salaah. Will it be considered as qaza or is it done before Asar time?

A: If the time of asar had not yet set in, the salaah will not be qadha.

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