The four rak'ahs before the 'Asr prayer
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: In the hadeeth it mentions:

«Allaah is merciful to the one who prays four (raka’aat) before the ‘Asr (prayer)»

...is this to be done before or after the adhaan (of the ‘Asr prayer)?

Response: If the hadeeth:

«Allaah is merciful to the one who prays four (raka’aat) before the ‘Asr (prayer)»

...is authentic, then what is intended is between the adhaan and the iqaamah.
