When does the time for the Zhuhr

595

A: Delaying the performance of the Zhuhr Prayer from the beginning of its time until 1:00 pm is permissible. It is Mustahab (desirable) to hasten the performance of the Zhuhr Prayer to the beginning of its time, except when it is very hot; it is then preferable to delay it until the heat of the sun has subsided and it is not as hot. It should be performed in congregation in the Masjid (mosque), whether it is at the beginning of its time or delayed, as long as it is performed within its prescribed time.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
