· 20 Muharram 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it OK to pray dhur and Asar prayers while sitting in the car because I work at that time and I have short time by 4:15 to end my work and currently maghrib starts at 4:30p.m. Please Advise.

Answer

Stop the car and perform the namaz on the ground.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
