The answer

If you wake up before the Asr prayer, perform ablution, and pray Dhuhr, then you have prayed it within its time. However, if you hear the Adhan for Asr from a trustworthy person knowledgeable of the prayer times, and you have not yet prayed Dhuhr, then it becomes a missed prayer (fā’itah) according to the majority of scholars. It is recommended to perform the missed prayer in congregation if possible, and there is no obligation to repeat its performance more than once.
