Q
Why is it recommended to delay the Zuhr prayer during very hot weather?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “In very hot weather delay the Zuhr prayer till it becomes (a bit) cooler because the
severity of heat is from the raging of the Hell-fire. The Hell-fire of Hell complained to its Lord saying:
O Lord! My parts are eating (destroying) one another. So Allah allowed it to take two breaths, one in
the winter and the other in the summer. The breath in the summer is at the time when you feel the
severest heat and the breath in the winter is at the time when you feel the severest cold.”
