Question

Usually on Wednesdays, I have a 5 minute break inbetween classes. Now im faced with a problem, because the time will be up for zhur when my second class ends. Can I just read the 4 fard and try to make up the sunnats some other time?

Answer

Assalaamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu

Due to the time constraint, you will be excused.

Was salaam
