Fatwa #21886 February 2001United States of America

In the Hanafi school, if the sun begins to rise before one finishes Fajr, does the prayer become invalid?

Question

Similarly, if the sun begins to set before one finishes Asr, does that prayer become invalid? Thank you.

Answer

If the sun rises during the Fajr Salaat, then the Salaat will be
invalidated. However, if it sets during the Asr prayer, performance of
Salaat at this time will be Makrooh (detestable) but should be completed.
