When There Is Only Enough Time to Perform One Rak‘at within the Prayer Time
Issue No.688- If the time is enough for performing one rak‘at only, he should offer the prayer with the intention of adā (in time). However, it is haram to delay offering the prayer to such a point. Therefore, if a person has enough time for offering five rak‘ats until sunset, he should offer both ẓuhr and ‘aṣr prayers as adā. The same ruling applies to the other prayers.
