One Who Mistakenly Offers ‘Aṣr Prayer Before Ẓuhr Prayer
Issue No.674- If a person forgetfully begins offering ‘aṣr prayer before ẓuhr prayer and during the prayer he realises that he has committed a mistake, if it is in the common time, he should change his intention to ẓuhr prayer, i.e., he should intend that what he has performed as well as what is he about to perform is of ẓuhr prayer, and after completing the prayer, he will offer the ‘aṣr prayer. However, if it occurs in the exclusive time of ẓuhr prayer, his prayer is void and he should start the prayer over again with the intention of ẓuhr.
