Reading Asr Salaah In Shafi’ee Time

· 7 Muharram 1448 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is a Hanafi permitted to read Asr in Shafi time when he is working? He works quite a distance from his home and cannot wait for Hanafi Asr or else he will miss Maghrib Salaah with Jamaah?

Answer

A Hanafi should adhere to the Hanafi timings for Salaah. If one is in dire need to perform Asr according to the Shafi Asr time, for example, he is a Musaafir, or he is in a Shafi congregation, then his Asr Salaah at that time will be valid. Hence, in the queried scenario if one has the fear that he will miss his Asr Salaah, one can read in the Shafi Asr time. (RE:Fatawaa Darululoom Zakariyya Vol:2 Pg64)

When do Fajr and Esha times start and end?

“According to the Mufta-Bihi view that is practiced upon in the Hanafi Madhab, when the Shafi’ee Asr time sets in, the time of Zuhr is still remaining; therefore in principle yes, the Zuhr Salaah will be valid if a Hanafi delays…”
