Performing the Asr salaah after one Mithal when the need arises

Q: Salaah-502: The bus arrives at such a time that if Asr is performed at the Hanafi time, the bus will be missed and if I wait to first board the bus, I would not have time to perform salaah before disembarking. In such a situation, will I be allowed to perform the Asr salaah during the time prescribed by Imaam Shafi'ee RAH.?

Answer: If you arc experiencing this problem travelling by bus, try using a train or some other mode it transport. However, if this is also a problem, you may perform the salaah after one Mithal. as prescribed by Imaam Shafi'ee RAH. This also conforms with the opinion of Imaam Abu Yusuf RAH. and Imaam Muhammad RAH . And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
