The Time of Asr
Reading Time: < 1 minute
- When the shadow of objects becomes twice the object’s size plus the length of the shadow at the time of precise midday (See: The Time of Zuhr: https://khairunnisa.co.za/2024/12/17/the-time-of-zuhr/) then Asr time starts.
- The time of Asr remains till sunset.
- However, when the colour of the sun changes and the sun becomes pale yellow then it is the Makrooh (reprehensible) time for performing Asr Salaat.
- If for some reason the Asr was delayed to that time then it should still be performed even in this Makrooh time.
- It should not be made Qadha.
- However, don’t again delay it to the Makrooh time.
- Besides the Asr of the day, it is not permissible to read any other Salaat, neither Qadha nor Nafl, in this Makrooh time.
