Delaying the Fajr and Asr Salaahs
Question
Is it recommended to delay the Fajr prayer and Asr prayer?
Answer
It is preferable to delay the Fajr Salaah till the time the horizon begins to brighten but in good time before sunrise. And the Asr will be read after mithlain, where the shadow of all things are more than twice its size.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
