Performing asr Salaah according to the Hanafi asr time
Question
Asr jamaat in the Tableelighi jamaat Musjid is at 4:45 PM whereas in the Ahle Hadith Musjid it is 3:45 PM. So can I offer my asr Salaah at the Ahle Hadith Musjid?
Answer
If you are a Hanafi, then you should perform your asr Salaah according to the Hanafi asr time.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
