Performing Salaah in its correct time
Question
Please can you advise if it is permissible for a Hanafi to read the Asr namaz alone when the time for Asr (shaafi'ee) has set in. The reason is that this person only reaches home 5-10 minutes before Maghrib due to his work and car pool commitments and does not want to miss his Asr namaaz.
Answer
Perform the namaaz in the right time.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
