Performing asr salaah in Shaafi time for a musaafir
Question
On safr, is a person allowed to read asr in shafi asr time. If so, then since a hanafi's zuhr ends at asr hanafi, can a person still read zuhr in asr shafi time and after a few minutes read the asr salaah?
Answer
1. If he feels that it is going to be difficult then he may do so.
2. He must not do this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
