Clarifications On Forbidden Times For Prayer
Hi Haseeb, The word Asr is basically one of the times periods of a day and not essentially the time of namaz. The narrative you mentioned would simply mean the asr time continues till sun turns yellow. The subject of this narrative seems not be namaz but the time period which can also be thought of as a pretty secular term for example in english we say high noon. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The time for ‘Asr lasts until the sun turns yellow.” (Narrated by Muslim, 612). It does not contradict the rule that asr can be offered till sunset and not during sunset. So you are.good to go!
