Missing the `Asr Prayer

Q: It was reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Anyone who misses the `Asr (Afternoon) Prayer will have all their (good) deeds annulled. The Messenger of Allah has spoken the truth. Does this refer to a person who misses the `Asr Prayer or the one who misses it in congregation? Please advise, many thanks to you.

A: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Anyone who misses the `Asr Prayer will have all their (good) deeds annulled. This Hadith refers to those who leave Salah (Prayer) intentionally until its time passes. The punishment of this deed is the annulment of their deeds. May Allah grant us safety.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
