Common and Exclusive Times
Issue No.673- Ẓuhr and ‘aṣr prayers each have their own exclusive and common times. The exclusive time for ẓuhr begins from the beginning of ẓuhr and extends until the time enough for offering ẓuhr prayer. The exclusive time for ‘aṣr prayer is the time enough to offer ‘aṣr prayer before the sun sets. If a person has not offered his ẓuhr prayer by this time, his ẓuhr prayer becomes qaḍā, and he should offer ‘aṣr prayer. The time in between is the common time for ẓuhr and ‘aṣr prayers.
