Sunset And Namaz
Praying is forbidden during the Sunset and not when the Sun fully sets. Am I right?
When the Sun fully sets, Maghrib’s time starts. Right?How can we determine the exact time before the Sunset or Maghrib, when we should not pray Asar?
5 mins? 10 mins? 20 mins?
Is there any exact answer?
What should I do when I am confused about whether I should pray Asar or not because maybe the Sun has started setting?

If you’ve missed Asr or Fajr prayer, you can still offer them even if the sun sets or rises during the prayer.
However, during this transitional period of setting or rising of the sun (around 10-15 minutes), don’t perform any additional voluntary prayers until the sun has fully set or risen.

Thank you, Dr. Irfan.
If you’ve missed Asr or Fajr prayer, you can still offer them even if the sun sets or rises during the prayer.
But for this, one should have prayed one rakat before sunrise or sunset as stated below. (Mizan’s text)
چنانچہ فرمایا ہے کہ جس نے سورج نکلنے سے پہلے فجر کی ایک رکعت اور اُس کے غروب ہونے سے پہلے عصر کی ایک رکعت پڑھ لی ، اُسے مطمئن رہنا چاہیے کہ اُس نے یہ نمازیں پا لی ہیں ۔
Now, I have 2 questions.
1. After reading the text above, I am now confused whether praying during the “transitional period” is prohibited or praying during the actual times of sunrise and sunset is prohibited. And according to my knowledge, the time of Maghrib starts at the actual time of sunset so it is obviously not prohibited.
So based on the above text, if one prayed one rakat a minute before the time of Maghrib and then the sun sets and the time of Maghrib starts. Now, is the prayer valid based on the above text?
OR
One rakat should be prayed before the transitional period and then it will be valid even if the transitional period starts. (This explanation doesn’t align with the words of the above text though)
2. And if the answer to the above question is the one after OR, how would one decide before how many minutes of sunrise or sunset should one pray one rakat and that rakat will be in time?
-
The timing is sun set and sun rise are recorded. Find the chart,. follow them. You need not to reinvent the wheel.
If You read one rakat before sun set or sus rise you can complete your prayer.
-
If I read one rakat before sunset or sunrise or if I read one rakat before the transitional period of sunset or sunset?
Thank you.
-
In that case you just need to complete the rest of your prayer.
-
Sir, I think, you did not understand my question properly.
This “one rakat” that we have to pray in time in order for our prayer to be considered valid.
When should we pray it?
Before the sunrise or sunset?
OR
Before the “transitional period” of sunrise or sunset?
Thank you.
-
Make it simple. If the sun did not rise or set, and one offered one rakat, one can complete one’s prayer.
Ignore the term transitional period.
