Makrooh time of Asr Salaah
Question
Up to what time can one perform Asr Salaah in a perfect and complete manner without any abhorrence whatsoever? How many minutes before Maghrib Salaah will the performance of Asr Salaah be considered as Makrooh?
Answer
According to the Kitaabs of Fiqh, when the colour of the sun changes and the rays of the sun becomes pale, then performing the Asr Salaah at such a time is considered as Makrooh. This is estimated to be approximately 15- 20 minutes before sunset. It is difficult to provide an exact time in minutes.
