![]() ![]() As for Maghrib it is always preferable to pray Maghrib immethately due to the statement of the prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, "Indeed my ummah will always be in a state of original purity (fitrah) as long as they do not delay Maghrib until the time when the stars come out" (Tabarani). If one is relatively certain that the time of Asr has entered but they have doubts about the end of the time then they should perform the salah sooner rather than later so that they do not risk delaying it to the end of its time or even worse, missing it all together. Delaying Asr salah to the point that the color of the sun becomes soft is hateful almost to the point of being haram. This is because of the importance of performing salah in congregation.Īs for Asr it is preferable to delay it a little beyond the beginning of its time as long as one does not delay it until the color of the sun becomes soft (about an hour or so before Maghrib). In this situation one should pray the salah with the local Imam even if he js not praying at the most preferable time. Most masajid pray Dhuhr salah at the beginning of its time regardless of the weather or the season. ![]() If one has doubt about whether or not the time of a certain salah has entered then they should delay that salah until they become reasonably certain about the entrance of its time. However, in the winter or in colder climate regions one should hasten to make Dhuhr at the beginning of its time. The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, "If the heat becomes intense then seek to pray salah at the cooler time for indeed excessive heat is from the winds Hell" (Bukhari). Hanafis Scholars state that it is desirable to delay Dhuhr salah until the directness of the sun is lessened and the walls of buildings give more shade so that it is easier to walk to the masjid. It is also recommended for congregational salah to wait until a fourth of Dhuhr time has passed if others have not yet arrived in order to give them a chance to catch the salah. So one should not hasten salah to the point that they abandon the sunnahs that come before the salah. It is not meant by this that one should hasten to perform salah at the very second that it comes in, rather it means that one should strive to per form salah during what is reasonably considered the beginning of its time. So it is recommended that a per son hasten to salah after the entrance of its time always, whether it is winter or summer, whether it is for Dhuhr salah or any other salah, and whether a person is making salah alone or in congregation. Many of the Scholars of Hadeeth however classify it as fabricated. Some Malikis also mention the statement that "The beginning of the time is when the pleasure of Allah (is earned)" as a hadeeth from the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, as reported by Daraqutny. The Maliki scholars state that the best time for any salah is the beginning of its time due to the statement of the Prophet salla allahu alayhe wa sallam, "The best of deeds in the sight of Allah is salah at the beginning of its time" (Bukhari). Here is more detail about the different rulings regarding different times: So, for example, praying Asr salah half an hour after its time begins is not the same as praying it two hours after its time begins. There are rulings attached to the different times within the allowable time for a particular salah. ![]()
