So for example, Ẓuhr lasts until ʿAṣr time enters. As long as you pray before that, your prayer is on time. The exception is Fajr: it ends at sunrise, not at the next prayer. So you have to make sure to pray it before the sun begins to rise, not just before Ẓuhr.\\n\\nIf you're traveling, it's also valid to delay and combine two prayers (like Ẓuhr and ʿAṣr) during one of their times.
