Q: I came to Makkah Al-Mukarramah in 7/12/1400 A.H. intending to perform Hajj and `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). In the time between Zhuhr (Noon) and `Asr (Afternoon) Prayers I entered the Haram (The Sacred Mosque) to perform Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah) and Sa`y (going between Safa and Marwah during Hajj). During the rounds of Sa`y, the Adhan (Call to Prayer) and Iqamah (call to start the Prayer) of `Asr Prayer were called. Until then, I had not performed Zhuhr Prayer although I had the intention of performing the two prayers shortened and combined. The Muslims, including me, faced the Qiblah (Ka`bah-direction faced in Prayer) and started Salah. As the time of the next obligatory Salah was due, I could not perform the prayers in their respective order and I expected not to find a place outside the Haram to offer Zhuhr Prayer. As such, I started the congregational Salah with the intention of performing the first two Rak`ahs for Zhuhr Prayer and the second two Rak`ahs for `Asr Prayer. After I finished the rounds of Sa`y, I went outside the Haram and performed the two prayers on a platform combined and in a shortened form. Kindly, give me your Fatwa concerning the ruling of my Salah in the place of Sa`y, knowing that I did not have sufficient time to leave the place allocated for the rounds of Sa`y to perform prayers according to the respective order.
