Accepted Answer

The main difference is in when Asr begins. In the Shafi, Maliki, and Hanbali schools, Asr starts when the shadow of an object equals its own length.

Both timings are valid and widely followed.

Can I pray Dhuhr and Asr together?

Question 7

Why is Asr prayer called the middle prayer?

Accepted Answer

Many scholars identify Asr as the 'middle prayer' (As-Salat al-Wusta) mentioned in Quran 2:238. This is because Asr falls in the middle of the five daily prayers and comes at a time when people are most occupied with daily activities. Allah commands Muslims to guard all prayers, especially the middle prayer. In Alor Setar, Asr is at 04:38 PM today.
