What to do when Dhuhr and Asr Salaats must be performed but there is enough time for just one Salaat before sunset? The Grand Ayatollah Sistani’s answer

Shafaqna English- The Grand Ayatollah Sistani answered a question about Salaat/Salaah.

Question: If there is enough time to perform only one Salaat before sunset, must we have intention (Niyyah) for Dhuhr Salaat or Asr Salaat?

The Grand Ayatollah Sistani: If there is time for four Rok’ats until sunset; perform four Rok’ats with the intention of either for Dhuhr or Asr; then after that and before the disappearance of eastern redness, perform the other four Rok’ats with the intention of Qadha of either Dhuhr or Asr.
