ʿAṣr Ṣalāh at Mithl Awwal
Question:
ʿAṣr Ṣalāh time starts at 2.52pm. Some brothers have already started according to the early time. I join them exactly at 2.52pm, I finish my prayer and make up my missed units. Is my Ṣalāh valid or should have performed my own Ṣalāh individually?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
Answer:
As long as they started ʿAṣr Ṣalāh after mithl awwal, your Ṣalāh is valid. (refer to our earlier Fatwa entitled: Travelling on Plane and performing ʿAṣr Ṣalāh at Mithl Awwal).
Allah knows best
